Resize and cold migrate can be confusing since they are very similar operations and share mostly the same code paths but there are some notable differences. This adds a contributor doc, similar to the evacuate-vs-rebuild contributor doc, to try and explain things at a high level and provide enough links so contributors can follow along and see where things fit into the puzzle. A sequence diagram is sorely needed for this as well but that will come in a separate change. Change-Id: I11b401a3f874226fdc20a0ee0bd518192f70fa1d

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:
