Markos Chandras 2da59eeabc [docs] Add documentation for 'install_method' variable
The 'install_method' variable can be used to deploy OpenStack services
either from source or from distribution packages. Since this variable
is meant to be set during the initial deployment and can't be changed
afterwards, it is important to document it in order to let deployers
know about it.

Deployers can now set the ``install_method`` to either ``source`` (default)
or ``distro`` to choose the method for installing OpenStack services on the
hosts. This only applies to *new* deployments. Existing deployments which
are source based, cannot be converted to the new ``distro`` method.
For more information, please refer to the `Deployment Guide <https://docs.openstack.org/project-deploy-guide/openstack-ansible>`_.
