Sean Dague c9f5ad3bcf remove /v2.1/{tenant_id} from all urls
As discussed at summit, the version part of the URL is not really
relevant, or a thing a user should be filling out themselves, this
should instead be set by the service catalog and extracted from the
token.

This removes it's reference in all documented REST urls, and adds a
new section describing how one gets the base URL for all calls.

================================================
Servers password (servers, os-server-password)
================================================
Shows the encrypted administrative password. Also, clears the encrypted
administrative password for a server, which removes it from the metadata
server.
Show Server Password
====================
.. rest_method:: GET /servers/{server_id}/os-server-password
Shows the administrative password for a server.
This operation calls the metadata service to query metadata information and
does not read password information from the server itself.
The password saved in the metadata service is typically encrypted using the
public SSH key injected into this server, so the SSH private key is needed to
read the password.
Policy defaults enable only users with the administrative role or the owner
of the server to perform this operation. Cloud providers can change these
permissions through the ``policy.json`` file.
Normal response codes: 200
Error response codes: unauthorized(401), forbidden(403), itemNotFound(404)

Clear Admin Password
====================
.. rest_method:: DELETE /servers/{server_id}/os-server-password
Clears the encrypted administrative password for a server, which removes it
from the database.
This action does not actually change the instance server password.
Policy defaults enable only users with the administrative role or the owner
of the server to perform this operation. Cloud providers can change these
permissions through the ``policy.json`` file.
Normal response codes: 204
Error response codes: unauthorized(401), forbidden(403), itemNotFound(404)
Request
-------
.. rest_parameters:: parameters.yaml
- server_id: server_id
Response
--------
There is no body content for the response of a successful DELETE action.
