Adds documentation for Javelin

I followed what's done for the cleanup.py script and re-used parts of
what was described in the javelin spec.

"""Javelin is a tool for creating, verifying, and deleting a small set of
resources in a declarative way.
Javelin is meant to be used as a way to validate quickly that resources can
survive an upgrade process.
Authentication
--------------
Javelin will be creating (and removing) users and tenants so it needs the admin
credentials of your cloud to operate properly. The corresponding info can be
given the usual way, either through CLI options or environment variables.
You're probably familiar with these, but just in case::
+----------+------------------+----------------------+
| Param | CLI | Environment Variable |
+----------+------------------+----------------------+
| Username | --os-username | OS_USERNAME |
| Password | --os-password | OS_PASSWORD |
| Tenant | --os-tenant-name | OS_TENANT_NAME |
+----------+------------------+----------------------+
Runtime Arguments
-----------------
**-m/--mode**: (Required) Has to be one of 'check', 'create' or 'destroy'. It
indicates which actions javelin is going to perform.
**-r/--resources**: (Required) The path to a YAML file describing the resources
used by Javelin.
**-d/--devstack-base**: (Required) The path to the devstack repo used to
retrieve artefacts (like images) that will be referenced in the resource files.
**-c/--config-file**: (Optional) The path to a valid Tempest config file
describing your cloud. Javelin may use this to determine if certain services
are enabled and modify its behavior accordingly.
Resource file
-------------
The resource file is a valid YAML file describing the resources that will be
created, checked and destroyed by javelin. Here's a canonical example of a
resource file::
tenants:
- javelin
- discuss
users:
- name: javelin
pass: gungnir
tenant: javelin
- name: javelin2
pass: gungnir2
tenant: discuss
# resources that we want to create
images:
- name: javelin_cirros
owner: javelin
file: cirros-0.3.2-x86_64-blank.img
format: ami
aki: cirros-0.3.2-x86_64-vmlinuz
ari: cirros-0.3.2-x86_64-initrd
servers:
- name: peltast
owner: javelin
flavor: m1.small
image: javelin_cirros
- name: hoplite
owner: javelin
flavor: m1.medium
image: javelin_cirros
An important piece of the resource definition is the *owner* field, which is
the user (that we've created) that is the owner of that resource. All
operations on that resource will happen as that regular user to ensure that
admin level access does not mask issues.
The check phase will act like a unit test, using well known assert methods to
verify that the correct resources exist.
