Matthew Kassawara 9e863fc2f3 Updated content for RDO Icehouse release packages
I made the following changes to update content for the RDO
Icehouse release packages:

1) Changed RDO repository package from
   rdo-release-icehouse-2.noarch.rpm to
   rdo-release-icehouse-3.noarch.rpm.
2) Added "python-glanceclient" to list of packages to install for
   glance.
3) Added "auth_protocol = http" and "auth_port = 35357" to
   glance-api.conf and glance-registry.conf.
4) Changed "rpc_backend = nova.openstack.common.rpc.impl_qpid" to
   "rpc_backend = qpid" in nova.conf on all nodes.
5) Removed "python-novaclient" from list of packages to install for
   neutron on the network node.
6) Added "python-neutronclient" to list of packages to install for
   neutron controller node.

Change-Id: I7f2456d5b3ece249abb774b0524fac7639d04ecb
