We have a document that attempts to help describe keystone concepts to other OpenStack developers. Now that we've added system scope to keystone, it makes sense to refresh this document and make it more helpful for services. This should help services consume various scopes to protect APIs at various levels (project, domain, system, et cetera). Change-Id: I1a92ed0b6bbba44d1050a857c3609d918bb25b86 Closes-Bug: 1757151
