Add testing and doc sections to docs/dev-quickstart

Add notes to dev/dev-quickstart to demonstrate how to
start up and interact with ironic-api and ironic-conductor
services locally, in a python virtualenv.

Also add some instrutions on building the documentation locally.

Exercising the Services Locally
===============================
If you would like to exercise the Ironic services in isolation within a local
virtual environment, you can do this without starting any other OpenStack
services. For example, this is useful for rapidly prototyping and debugging
interactions over the RPC channel, testing database migrations, and so forth.
First, install prerequisites::
# install rabbit message broker
# Ubuntu/Debian:
sudo apt-get install rabbitmq-server
# Fedora/RHEL:
sudo yum install rabbitmq-server
# install ironic CLI
sudo pip install python-ironicclient
Then, activate the virtual environment created in the previous section, and run
everything else within that::
# enter the ironic directory
cd <your source dir>
cd ironic
# activate the virtualenv
source .tox/venv/bin/activate
# install ironic within the virtualenv
python setup.py develop
# initialize the ironic database; this defaults to storing data in
# ./ironic/openstack/common/db/ironic.sqlite
ironic-dbsync
# copy sample config and modify it as necessary
cp etc/ironic/ironic.conf.sample etc/ironic/ironic.conf.local
cat >> etc/ironic/ironic.conf.local <<EOL
host = test-host
auth_strategy = noauth
EOL
# start services and observe their output
# for each service, open a separate window and active the virtualenv in it
ironic-api -v -d --config-file etc/ironic/ironic.conf.local
ironic-conductor -v -d --config-file etc/ironic/ironic.conf.local
# export ENV vars so ironic client connects to the local services
export OS_AUTH_TOKEN=fake-token
export IRONIC_URL=http://localhost:6385/
# you should now be able to query the Ironic API
# and see a list of supported drivers on "test-host"
ironic driver-list
# enroll nodes with the "fake" driver, eg:
ironic node-create -d fake
# if you make some code changes and want to test their effects,
# install again with "python setup.py develop", stop the services
# with Ctrl-C, and restart them.

Building developer documentation
================================
If you would like to build the documentation locally, eg. to test your
documentation changes before uploading them for review, you should install and
configure Apache to serve the output. Below are some basic instructions. This
guide does not cover the many ways one can configure Apache, nor does it
address security issues with running a web server on your laptop.
(In other words, you might want to do this in a VM.)
::
# Install Apache on Ubuntu/Debian
sudo apt-get install apache2
# Install Apache on Fedora/RHEL
sudo yum install httpd
sudo systemctl start httpd
# Add symlink to build output. For this example, let's assume your
# Apache DocumentRoot is /var/www and ironic source is at /opt/stack/ironic
cd /var/www
sudo ln -s /opt/stack/ironic/doc/build/html ironic
cd /opt/stack/ironic
# build the documentation
source .tox/venv/bin/activate
python setup.py build_sphinx
# open a web browser pointed to http://localhost/ironic/index.html
