Richard Lee 5acdabf81d Reorganize docker-plugin for consistency 
Package and Module names shouldn't have dashes in them, since it makes
it harder to import them (i.e. one cannot use ``import dashed-module``).

Also, moving docker resource under resources for consistency.

Docker plugin for OpenStack Heat

This plugin enable using Docker containers as resources in a Heat template.

1. Install the Docker plugin in Heat

NOTE: Heat scans several directories to find plugins. The list of directories is specified in the configuration file "heat.conf" with the "plugin_dirs" directive.

Running the following commands will install the Docker plugin in an existing Heat setup.

pip install -r requirements.txt
ln -sf $(cd heat/contrib/docker-plugin/plugin; pwd) /usr/lib/heat/docker
echo "plugin_dirs=$(cd heat/contrib/docker-plugin/plugin; pwd)" > /etc/heat/heat.conf

NOTE: If you already have plugins enabled, you should not run the last command and instead edit the config file "/etc/heat/heat.conf" manually.

2. Restart heat

Only the process "heat-engine" needs to be restarted to load the new installed plugin.
