Often it is beneficial to use the functionality provided by `use_cirros` and `cirros_deploy_image_upstream_url` to download and test with images of other OS distributions. This patch changes the variable names to reflect that use case. `use_cirros` -> `download_custom_deploy_image` `cirros_deploy_image_upstream_url` -> `custom_deploy_image_upstream_url` The functionality of the old variables is retained for backwards compatability.

Bifrost
Bifrost (pronounced bye-frost) is a set of Ansible playbooks that automates the task of deploying a base image onto a set of known hardware using ironic. It provides modular utility for one-off operating system deployment with as few operational requirements as reasonably possible.
The mission of bifrost is to provide an easy path to deploy ironic in a stand-alone fashion, in order to help facilitate the deployment of infrastucture, while also being a configurable project that can consume other OpenStack components to allow users to easily customize the environment to fit their needs, and drive forward the stand-alone perspective.
Use cases include:
- Installation of ironic in standalone/noauth mode without other OpenStack components.
- Deployment of an operating system to a known pool of hardware as a batch operation.
- Testing and development of ironic in the standalone mode.
