Matt Thompson 06708191d6 Install Guide Cleanup
This commit does the following:

- sets all shell prompts in code-blocks to the root prompt
- uses shell-session code-block since the shell prompt was being
  treated as a comment
- links configure-aodh.rst in configure.rst (running tox was
  complaining that this file wasn't being linked anywhere)
- other minor cleanup

Object Storage (swift) is a multi-tenant object storage system. It is
highly scalable, can manage large amounts of unstructured data, and
provides a RESTful HTTP API.
The following procedure describes how to set up storage devices and
modify the Object Storage configuration files to enable Object Storage
usage.
#. `The section called "Configure and mount storage
devices" <configure-swift-devices.html>`_
#. `The section called "Configure an Object Storage
deployment" <configure-swift-config.html>`_
#. Optionally, allow all Identity users to use Object Storage by setting
``swift_allow_all_users`` in the ``user_variables.yml`` file to
``True``. Any users with the ``_member_`` role (all authorized
Identity (keystone) users) can create containers and upload objects
to Object Storage.
If this value is ``False``, then by default, only users with the
admin or swiftoperator role are allowed to create containers or
manage tenants.
When the backend type for the Image Service (glance) is set to
``swift``, the Image Service can access the Object Storage cluster
regardless of whether this value is ``True`` or ``False``.
