Jeremy Stanley 319953d5ab Overhaul Python package metadata and OpenDev URLs
Modernize our package metadata in the following ways:

* switch from description-file to long_description with the file
  attribute, and specify an explicit content type and encoding

* replace the home-page parameter with the newer general url one

* add specific labelled project links for improved navigation from
  PyPI's summary sidebar

* add commandline keyword to help folks searching

* use the specific license metadata in addition to the corresponding
  trove classifier for it

* make sure wheels when built also incorporate the LICENSE and
  AUTHORS files so that we're not distributing them without a copy
  of the license text

* stop flagging wheels as "universal" now that git-review no longer
  supports Python 2.7

* drop the old Sphinx integration config for PBR now that it's no
  longer needed

Also update old openstack.org URLs throughout contributor docs and
examples/comments to newer opendev.org counterparts. Remove the old
redundant HACKING.rst file as well as a lingering MANIFEST.in from
the times before PBR was a thing. Replace the CONTRIBUTING.rst with
a shorter one cribbed from bindep. Add the test profile to the one
entry in bindep.txt to make it more apparent that's not a runtime
dependency of git-review. Adjust some old "OpenStack, LLC."

Contribution Overview
=====================
OpenDev's tools are hosted within the OpenDev collaboratory, and
development for them uses workflows described in the OpenDev
Infrastructure Manual:
http://docs.opendev.org/opendev/manual/developers.html
Defect reporting and task tracking takes place here:
https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/project/opendev/git-review
Developing git-review
=====================
Either install `bindep` and run ``bindep test`` to check you have the needed
tools, or review ``bindep.txt`` by hand.
Running Tests
-------------
The testing system is based on a combination of tox and testr. The canonical
approach to running tests is to simply run the command `tox`. This will
create virtual environments, populate them with dependencies and run all of
the tests that OpenStack CI systems run. Behind the scenes, tox is running
`testr run --parallel`, but is set up such that you can supply any additional
testr arguments that are needed to tox. For example, you can run:
`tox -- --analyze-isolation` to cause tox to tell testr to add
--analyze-isolation to its argument list.
It is also possible to run the tests inside of a virtual environment
you have created, or it is possible that you have all of the dependencies
installed locally already. If you'd like to go this route, the requirements
are listed in requirements.txt and the requirements for testing are in
test-requirements.txt. Installing them via pip, for instance, is simply::
pip install -r requirements.txt -r test-requirements.txt
In you go this route, you can interact with the testr command directly.
Running `testr run` will run the entire test suite. `testr run --parallel`
will run it in parallel (this is the default incantation tox uses.) More
information about testr can be found at:
