Antonio Messina 1f29afc116 Improve installation script

This is an almost complete rewrite of the installation script, mainly
directed to allow installation of Rally also from unprivileged users,
but also adding a few more options and checks.

More in details, the script now:

* can run as unprivileged user.
* support different database types
* allow to specify custom python binary
* always asks confirmation before doing potentially dangerous actions
  (removing directories or installing software)
* automatically install needed software if run as root
* this script is self-sufficient: it automatically downloads Rally
  from the git if needed
* if interrupted, cleans up the virtualenv and/or the downloaded repository

Step 0. Installation

The easiest way to install Rally is by running its installation script:

wget -q -O- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openstack/rally/master/install_rally.sh | bash
# or using curl:
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openstack/rally/master/install_rally.sh | bash

If you execute the script as regular user, Rally will create a new virtual environment in ~/rally/ and install in it Rally, and will use sqlite as database backend. If you execute the script as root, Rally will be installed system wide. For more installation options, please refer to the installation <install> page.

Note: Rally requires Python version 2.6, 2.7 or 3.4.

Now that you have rally installed, you are ready to start benchmarking OpenStack with it <tutorial_step_1_setting_up_env_and_running_benchmark_from_samples>!
