Scheduler hints are not really documented very well at all except for being mentioned per scheduler filter in the admin configuration guide, nor are they documented within relation to flavor extra specs which are both used for impacting scheduling decisions and are choices that a deployer has to make based on how they configure their cloud. This change adds a document about scheduler hints and how they are similar to and different from flavor extra specs, including end user discoverability and interoperability, and thoughts on which should be used if writing a custom scheduler filter. The TODO in the API guide is also resolved by linking to this document. Change-Id: Ib1f35baacf59efafb9e4bccfcc4f0025d99ad5b2

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:
