Sean Dague 1555736e3c Final warnings removals for api-ref
This removes the final warnings from the api-ref code base, and flips
the sphinx switch to enforce warnings as errors.

It also adds code to the rest_parameters extension to make it more
clear where a problem is when it comes to included parameters. This
puts us in a place where we can start doing the file per file look at
content.

Trigger Crash Dump In Server (Trigger_Crash_Dump Action)
========================================================
.. rest_method:: POST /v2.1/{tenant_id}/servers/{server_id}/action
Trigger a crash dump in a server.
Specify the ``trigger_crash_dump`` action in the request body.
When a crash dump is triggered for a virtual server, it causes a system reboot. This action can cause data loss. Also, network connectivity can be lost. Once the server comes back online, you can find a Kernel Crash Dump file in a certain location of the filesystem. For example, for Ubuntu you can find it in the ``/var/crash`` directory.
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.
