Chris Dent 1ae04e7d41 Tune up documentation to be more useful
The cookiecutter template includes more documentation than we
need, so remove lots of extraneous stuff and lay in the basics.

os-resource-classes
===============================
A list of standardized resource classes for OpenStack.
A resource class is a distinct type of inventory that exists in
a cloud environment, for example ``VCPU``, ``DISK_GB``. They are
upper case with underscores. They often include a unit in their
name.
This package provides a collection of symbols representing those
standard resource classes which are expected to be available in
any OpenStack deployment.
There also exists a concept of custom resource classes. These
are countable types that are custom to a particular environment.
The OpenStack `placement API`_ provides a way to create these. A
custom resource class always begins with a ``CUSTOM_`` prefix.
