Stephen Finucane 13b06ebb1c docs: Add a new cells v2 document
We currently have three cells v2 documents in-tree:

- A 'user/cellsv2-layout' document that details the structure or
  architecture of a cells v2 deployment (which is to say, any modern
  nova deployment)
- A 'user/cells' document, which is written from a pre-cells v2
  viewpoint and details the changes that cells v2 *will* require and the
  benefits it *would* bring. It also includes steps for upgrading from
  pre-cells v2 (that is, pre-Pike) deployment or a deployment with cells
  v1 (which we removed in Train and probably broke long before)
- An 'admin/cells' document, which doesn't contain much other than some
  advice for handling down cells

Clearly there's a lot of cruft to be cleared out as well as some
centralization of information that's possible. As such, we combine all
of these documents into one document, 'admin/cells'. This is chosen over
'users/cells' since cells are not an end-user-facing feature. References
to cells v1 and details on upgrading from pre-cells v2 deployments are
mostly dropped, as are some duplicated installation/configuration steps.
Formatting is fixed and Sphinx-isms used to cross reference config
option where possible. Finally, redirects are added so that people can
continue to find the relevant resources. The result is (hopefully) a
one stop shop for all things cells v2-related that operators can use to
configure and understand their deployments.

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:

Developers

For information on how to contribute to Nova, please see the contents of the CONTRIBUTING.rst.

Any new code must follow the development guidelines detailed in the HACKING.rst file, and pass all unit tests.
