Code Issues Proposed changes

Reorder the compute config options page

Browse Source 
I reordered the existing content into a structure like:
* intro
* quickstart
* full details

People not familiar with the config options of Nova are now
able to quickly find all possible options to get a rough understanding
what's possible. Operators will be mostly interested in new, changed
and deprecated options, which is also more prominent at the top now.

Compute service
===============
The Compute service is a cloud computing fabric controller,
which is the main part of an *Infrastructure as a Service* (IaaS) system.
You can use OpenStack Compute to host and manage cloud computing systems.
This section describes the Compute service configuration options.
To configure your Compute installation,
you must define configuration options in these files:
* ``nova.conf`` contains most of the Compute configuration options and
resides in the ``/etc/nova`` directory.
* ``api-paste.ini`` defines Compute limits and resides in the
``/etc/nova`` directory.
* Related Image service and Identity service management configuration files.
