Michael Still 13d8002008 Better help for generate config 
This just adds a sample command line for how to generate the
nova.conf.sample because I keep forgetting how to do it.

README 

This generate_sample.sh tool is used to generate etc/nova/nova.conf.sample

Run it from the top-level working directory i.e.

  $> ./tools/config/generate_sample.sh -b ./ -p nova -o etc/nova

Watch out for warnings about modules like libvirt, qpid and zmq not
being found - these warnings are significant because they result
in options not appearing in the generated config file.


The analyze_opts.py tool is used to find options which appear in
/etc/nova/nova.conf but not in etc/nova/nova.conf.sample
This helps identify options in the nova.conf file which are not used by nova.
The tool also identifies any options which are set to the default value.

Run it from the top-level working directory i.e.

  $> ./tools/config/analyze_opts.py
