Refactor the Keystone token providers page

Browse Source

such that additional content can be added beyond just information about
the various token providers (such as authorization scopes!).

Keystone tokens
===============
Tokens are used to interact with the various OpenStack APIs. The token type
issued by keystone is configurable through the ``etc/keystone.conf`` file.
Currently, there are four supported token types and they include ``UUID``,
``fernet``, ``PKI``, and ``PKIZ``.
Tokens are used to authenticate and authorize your interactions with the
various OpenStack APIs. Tokens come in many flavors, representing various
authorization scopes and sources of identity. There are also several different
"token providers", each with their own user experience, performance, and
deployment characteristics.
