Summer Long 181b57e46d Added basic description and info for Orchestration.
Also included references to other guides and sections. Restructured a bit, using a 'Manage the OpenStack Environment' section, so that there aren't so many level-two headers in the CLI section.

Closes-Bug: #1267697

<title>Launch and manage stacks</title>
<para>The Orchestration service provides a template-based orchestration engine
for the OpenStack cloud, which can be used to create and manage cloud
infrastructure resources such as storage, networking, instances, and
applications as a repeatable running environment.
</para>
<para>Templates are used to create stacks, which are collections of resources. For example,
a stack might include instances, floating IPs, volumes, security groups, or users.
The Orchestration service offers access to all OpenStack core services via a single modular template,
with additional orchestration capabilities such as auto-scaling and basic high availability.</para>
