Ian Wienand 7cd16ce48a Remove shocco docs and other cleanups
This is a fairly opinionated change to do some spring cleaning on the
documentation.

The current output of shocco as rendered at [1] is completely broken.
I can not see that it is worth us maintaining this.  Honestly, the
github page does a better job at showing the scripts with a bit of
formatting.  The "changes" page is similarly useless today.  cgit or
github show allow browsing of changes in the repo better.  Both are
removed along with support scripts.

When you currently hit the first page, it gives no clue as to what
DevStack actually is.  Add a paragraph explaining that, and link to
the cgit for easy source browsing.

stackrc.rst is not necessary; the stuff about database backends is
already discussed in configuration.rst; move the things about service
repos into a section of configuration.rst.

The discussion in openrc.rst is moved into the configuration.rst file.

localrc.conf.rst was just a paragraph pointing back to
configuration.rst; this is removed.

The variables described in exercise.rst are moved into a separate
section of configuration.rst

DevStack
========
.. image:: assets/images/logo-blue.png
DevStack is a series of extensible scripts used to quickly bring up a
complete OpenStack environment. It is used interactively as a
development environment and as the basis for much of the OpenStack
project's functional testing.
The source is available at
`<https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack-dev/devstack>`__.

Quick Start
-----------
#. Select a Linux Distribution
Only Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty), Fedora 22 (or Fedora 23) and CentOS/RHEL
7 are documented here. OpenStack also runs and is packaged on other
flavors of Linux such as OpenSUSE and Debian.
#. Install Selected OS
In order to correctly install all the dependencies, we assume a
specific minimal version of the supported distributions to make it as
easy as possible. We recommend using a minimal install of Ubuntu or
Fedora server in a VM if this is your first time.
#. Download DevStack
::
git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack-dev/devstack
The ``devstack`` repo contains a script that installs OpenStack and
templates for configuration files
#. Configure
We recommend at least a :ref:`minimal-configuration` be set up.
#. Add Stack User
Devstack should be run as a non-root user with sudo enabled
(standard logins to cloud images such as "ubuntu" or "cloud-user"
are usually fine).
You can quickly create a separate `stack` user to run DevStack with
::
devstack/tools/create-stack-user.sh; su stack
#. Start the install
::
cd devstack; ./stack.sh
It takes a few minutes, we recommend `reading the
script <stack.sh.html>`__ while it is building.

All-In-One Single VM
--------------------
Run :doc:`OpenStack in a VM <guides/single-vm>`. The VMs launched in your cloud will be slow as
they are running in QEMU (emulation), but it is useful if you don't have
spare hardware laying around. :doc:`[Read] <guides/single-vm>`
All-In-One Single Machine
-------------------------
Run :doc:`OpenStack on dedicated hardware <guides/single-machine>` This can include a
server-class machine or a laptop at home.
:doc:`[Read] <guides/single-machine>`
All-In-One LXC Container
-------------------------
Run :doc:`OpenStack in a LXC container <guides/lxc>`. Beneficial for intermediate
and advanced users. The VMs launched in this cloud will be fully accelerated but
not all OpenStack features are supported. :doc:`[Read] <guides/lxc>`
Multi-Node Lab
--------------
Setup a :doc:`multi-node cluster <guides/multinode-lab>` with dedicated VLANs for VMs & Management.
:doc:`[Read] <guides/multinode-lab>`
DevStack with Neutron Networking
--------------------------------
Building a DevStack cluster with :doc:`Neutron Networking <guides/neutron>`.
This guide is meant for building lab environments with a dedicated
control node and multiple compute nodes.
DevStack with KVM-based Nested Virtualization
---------------------------------------------
Procedure to setup :doc:`DevStack with KVM-based Nested Virtualization
<guides/devstack-with-nested-kvm>`. With this setup, Nova instances
will be more performant than with plain QEMU emulation.
Nova and devstack
--------------------------------
