Ian Wienand 882b730fdf Update to openstackdocstheme
This modernises the openstack-infra documentation by switching to
openstackdocstheme.  Update dependencies as required.

To remove non-relevant stuff from conf.py, I have just taken the demo
file from openstackdocstheme and lightly modified it.

It seems later sphinx has included it's own ":file:" role which now
conflicts.  Change it it ":cgit_file:" in our documentation.  Remove
the custom header template which no longer applies.  Add the
post-2.0-pbr sphinx-based warning-as-error, which fixes the original
problem that I actually noticed that errors could slip through the
gate tests :)

Etherpad
########
Etherpad (previously known as "etherpad-lite") is installed on
etherpad.openstack.org to facilitate real-time collaboration on
documents. It is used extensively during OpenStack Developer
Summits.

Overview
========
Apache is configured as a reverse proxy and there is a MySQL database
backend.
Manual Administrative Tasks
===========================
The following sections describe tasks that individuals with root
access may need to perform on rare occasions.
Deleting a Pad
--------------
On occasion it may be necessary to delete a pad, so as to redact
sensitive or illegal data posted to it (the revision history it keeps
makes this harder than just clearing the current contents through a
browser). This is fairly easily accomplished via the `HTTP API`_, but
you need the key which is saved in a file on the server so it's easiest
if done when SSH'd into it locally::
wget -qO- 'http://localhost:9001/api/1/deletePad?apikey='$(cat \
/opt/etherpad-lite/etherpad-lite/APIKEY.txt)'&padID=XXXXXXXXXX'
...where XXXXXXXXXX is the pad's name as it appears at the end of its
URL. If all goes well, you should receive a response like::
{"code":0,"message":"ok","data":null}
Browse to the original pad's URL and you should now see the fresh
welcome message boilerplate for a new pad. Check the pad's history and
note that it has no authors and no prior revisions.
