Code Issues Proposed changes

Add basic docs on updating the OpenAFS ppa

Browse Source 
This adds documentation that should at least remind us that we have
a repo with the .deb files for our openafs packages and roughly
how to go about updating them.

lacks support for IPv6, avoid entering corresponding AAAA (IPv6 address)
records for these so that it won't cause fallback delays for other
v6-supporting AFS client implementations.
Custom Packages
---------------
We run custom built packages (typically so that we have access to
bugfixes faster than appear in Ubuntu). The packages are in the
`openstack-ci-core` PPA on launchpad.
The deb configuration files are contained in the
`opendev/infra-openafs-deb` repo. Changes to that repo cause the
packages to be built in the check and gate pipeline for build
verification, and the promote pipeline uploads the package definition
to the PPA for launchpad to build.
This repo has a branch for each target to build. To create a new
operating system target, make a new branch.
To update the contents of a branch, the `debian/*` files may need to
be updated by copying from the upstream debian package. The
`make-orig.sh` script should be updated to point to new upstream
version archives.
Push a change to the appropriate target branch, merge it, and check on
the launchpad PPA to verify that it built correctly. If launchpad was
unable to build the package, you may need to fix it and increment the
revision number to trigger a new build.
