Mark Sturdevant c41dbfc0e2 Add Shared File Systems (manila) to Config Ref
Shared File Systems service (manila) should be added to
the Config Ref similar to Block Storage (cinder).
The content would be similar to cinder in that it
would have sections to describe Intro, Drivers,
Log Files and Options.

<title>EMC Isilon driver</title>
<para>
The EMC Shared File Systems driver framework (EMCShareDriver)
utilizes EMC
storage products to provide shared file systems to OpenStack. The EMC
driver is a plug-in based driver which is designed to use
different plug-ins to manage different EMC storage products.
</para>
<para>
The Isilon driver is a plug-in for the EMC framework which allows
the Shared File Systems service to interface with an Isilon back end to
provide a shared filesystem. The EMC driver framework with the
Isilon plug-in is referred to as the &quot;Isilon Driver&quot; in
this document.
</para>
<para>
This Isilon Driver interfaces with an Isilon cluster via the REST
Isilon Platform API (PAPI) and the RESTful Access to Namespace API
(RAN).
