Code Issues Proposed changes

Numerous improvements in the documentation 

* Flatten the directory structure (we don't have that many doc files)
* Dropped HTTP-API from the root so that we don't maintain 2 copies
* Fixed links all over the place
* Leave one copy of README text in the root and include it in docs
* Update 'tox -epep8' to also check docs

Version Support Matrix
----------------------
**ironic-inspector** currently requires bare metal API version ``1.6`` to be
provided by Ironic. This version is available starting with Ironic Kilo
release.
Here is a mapping between Ironic versions and supported **ironic-inspector**
versions. The Standalone column shows which **ironic-inspector** versions can
be used in standalone mode with each Ironic version. The Inspection Interface
column shows which **ironic-inspector** versions can be used with the Ironic
inspection interface in each version of Ironic.
+--------------+-------------------------------+
|Ironic Version| Inspector (Discoverd) Version |

|Kilo |1.0 - 2.2 |1.0 - 1.1 |

|Liberty |1.1 - 2.X |2.0 - 2.X |
+--------------+----------+--------------------+
.. note::
``2.X`` means we don't have specific plans on deprecating support for this
Ironic version. This does not imply that we'll support it forever though.
Workflow
--------
Usual hardware introspection flow is as follows:
* Operator enrolls nodes into Ironic_ e.g. via ironic CLI command.
Power management credentials should be provided to Ironic at this step.
* Nodes are put in the correct state for introspection as described in
:ref:`node_states`.
* Operator sends nodes on introspection using **ironic-inspector** API or CLI
(see Usage_).
* On receiving node UUID **ironic-inspector**:
* validates node power credentials, current power and provisioning states,
* allows firewall access to PXE boot service for the nodes,
* issues reboot command for the nodes, so that they boot the ramdisk.
* The ramdisk collects the required information and posts it back to
**ironic-inspector**.
* On receiving data from the ramdisk, **ironic-inspector**:
* validates received data,
* finds the node in Ironic database using it's BMC address (MAC address in
case of SSH driver),
* fills missing node properties with received data and creates missing ports.
.. note::
**ironic-inspector** is responsible to create Ironic ports for some or all
NIC's found on the node. **ironic-inspector** is also capable of
deleting ports that should not be present. There are two important
configuration options that affect this behavior: ``add_ports`` and
``keep_ports`` (please refer to ``example.conf`` for detailed explanation).
Default values as of **ironic-inspector** 1.1.0 are ``add_ports=pxe``,
``keep_ports=all``, which means that only one port will be added, which is
associated with NIC the ramdisk PXE booted from. No ports will be deleted.
This setting ensures that deploying on introspected nodes will succeed
despite `Ironic bug 1405131
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/ironic/+bug/1405131>`_.
Ironic inspection feature by default requires different settings:
``add_ports=all``, ``keep_ports=present``, which means that ports will be
created for all detected NIC's, and all other ports will be deleted.
Refer to the `Ironic inspection documentation`_ for details.
* Separate API (see Usage_) can be used to query introspection results
for a given node.
* Nodes are put in the correct state for deploying as described in
:ref:`node_states`.
Starting DHCP server and configuring PXE boot environment is not part of this
package and should be done separately.

HTTP API
--------
By default **ironic-inspector** listens on ``0.0.0.0:5050``, port
can be changed in configuration. Protocol is JSON over HTTP.
Start Introspection
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
``POST /v1/introspection/<UUID>`` initiate hardware introspection for node
``<UUID>``. All power management configuration for this node needs to be done
prior to calling the endpoint (except when `Setting IPMI Credentials`_).
Requires X-Auth-Token header with Keystone token for authentication.
Optional parameters:
* ``new_ipmi_password`` if set, **ironic-inspector** will try to set IPMI
password on the machine to this value. Power credentials validation will be
skipped and manual power on will be required. See `Setting IPMI
credentials`_ for details.

set by ``new_ipmi_password``. Defaults to current ``ipmi_username`` in
node ``driver_info`` field.

* ``ipmi_password`` new IPMI password
.. _Setting IPMI Credentials: https://github.com/openstack/ironic-inspector#setting-ipmi-credentials
.. _Plugins: https://github.com/openstack/ironic-inspector#plugins
Error Response
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If an error happens during request processing, **Ironic Inspector** returns
a response with an appropriate HTTP code set, e.g. 400 for bad request or
404 when something was not found (usually node in cache or node in ironic).
The following JSON body is returned::
{
"error": {
"message": "Full error message"
}
}
This body may be extended in the future to include details that are more error
specific.
API Versioning
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The API supports optional API versioning. You can query for minimum and
maximum API version supported by the server. You can also declare required API
version in your requests, so that the server rejects request of unsupported
version.
.. note::
Versioning was introduced in **Ironic Inspector 2.1.0**.
All versions must be supplied as string in form of ``X.Y``, where ``X`` is a
major version and is always ``1`` for now, ``Y`` is a minor version.
* If ``X-OpenStack-Ironic-Inspector-API-Version`` header is sent with request,
the server will check if it supports this version. HTTP error 406 will be
returned for unsupported API version.
* All HTTP responses contain
``X-OpenStack-Ironic-Inspector-API-Minimum-Version`` and
``X-OpenStack-Ironic-Inspector-API-Maximum-Version`` headers with minimum
and maximum API versions supported by the server.
API Discovery
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The API supports API discovery. You can query different parts of the API to
discover what other endpoints are avaliable.
* ``GET /`` List API Versions
Response:
* 200 - OK
Response body: JSON dictionary containing a list of ``versions``, each
version contains:
* ``status`` Either CURRENT or SUPPORTED
* ``id`` The version identifier
* ``links`` A list of links to this version endpoint containing:
* ``href`` The URL
* ``rel`` The relationship between the version and the href
* ``GET /v1`` List API v1 resources
Response:
* 200 - OK
Response body: JSON dictionary containing a list of ``resources``, each
resource contains:
* ``name`` The name of this resources
* ``links`` A list of link to this resource containing:
* ``href`` The URL
* ``rel`` The relationship between the resource and the href

Hardware introspection for OpenStack Bare Metal
===============================================
.. include:: ../../README.rst
This is an auxiliary service for discovering hardware properties for a
node managed by `Ironic`_. Hardware introspection or hardware
properties discovery is a process of getting hardware parameters required for
scheduling from a bare metal node, given it's power management credentials
(e.g. IPMI address, user name and password).
User Guide
===========
A special ramdisk is required to collect the information on a
node. The default one can be built using diskimage-builder_ and
`ironic-discoverd-ramdisk element`_ (see :ref:`install_guide`).
