We need a simple "how to reach out to us" page that is not mixed with code contribution guide. This change adds it by moving information around and polishing it a bit. Change-Id: I0a458c3baddaaa2226cd2105d6325025a0c81f05

Welcome to Ironic's documentation!
Introduction
Ironic is an OpenStack project which provisions bare metal (as opposed to virtual) machines. It may be used independently or as part of an OpenStack Cloud, and integrates with the OpenStack Identity (keystone), Compute (nova), Network (neutron), Image (glance), and Object (swift) services.
The Bare Metal service manages hardware through both common (eg. PXE and IPMI) and vendor-specific remote management protocols. It provides the cloud operator with a unified interface to a heterogeneous fleet of servers while also providing the Compute service with an interface that allows physical servers to be managed as though they were virtual machines.
This documentation is continually updated and may not represent the
state of the project at any specific prior release. To access
documentation for a previous release of ironic, append the OpenStack
release name to the URL; for example, the ocata release is
available at https://docs.openstack.org/ironic/ocata/.
