Andreas Jaeger 69afda54b5 Cleanup openrc.sh creation and usage
Consistently create and use PROJECT-openrc.sh files. This is the default
when you use the dashboard, so let's follow this everywhere. This makes
it also clearer which project is used.

<title>Authenticate</title>
<para>You must authenticate against an OpenStack endpoint before you
can use OpenStack services. Each project uses a slightly different
syntax for authentication.</para>
<para>You must typically authenticate against a specific version of
a service. For example, a client might need to authenticate
against Identity v2.0.</para>
<para>Python scripts that use the OpenStack SDK must have access to the
credentials contained in the
<link linkend="cli_openrc">OpenStack RC file</link>. Because credentials
are sensitive information, do not include them in your scripts. This guide
assumes that users source the
<filename><replaceable>PROJECT</replaceable>-openrc.sh</filename>
file and access the credentials by using the environment variables
in the Python scripts.</para>
