Add local testing aids and documentation

This change adds contributing documentation to illustrate how
developers can test roles using molecule on local machines.
To assist in local testing an rc environment file has been
added to the project root which will ensure ansible is
configured to use resources out of this project.

Local testing of new roles
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Role based testing with molecule can be executed from within the
role directory.
.. note::
Most tests require docker for container based testing. If Docker
is not available on the local workstation it will need to be
installed prior to executing most molecule based tests.
.. note::
The script `bindep-install`, in the **scripts** path, is
available and will install all system dependencies.
Before running basic molecule tests, it is recommended to install all
of the python dependencies in a virtual environment.
.. code-block:: console
$ python -m virtualenv --system-site-packages "${HOME}/test-python"
$ ${HOME}/test-python/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt \
-r test-requirements.txt
$ source ${HOME}/test-python/bin/activate
To run a basic molecule test, simply source the `ansibe-test-env.rc`
file from the project root, and then execute the following commands.
.. code-block:: console
(test-python) $ cd tripleo_ansible/roles/${NEWROLENAME}/
(test-python) $ molecule test --all
If a role has more than one scenario, a specific scenario can be
specified on the command line. Running specific scenarios will
help provide developer feedback faster. To pass-in a scenario use
the `--scenario-name` flag with the name of the desired scenario.
.. code-block:: console
(test-python) $ cd tripleo_ansible/roles/${NEWROLENAME}/
(test-python) $ molecule test --scenario-name ${EXTRA_SCENARIO_NAME}
When debugging molecule tests its sometimes useful to use the
`--debug` flag. This flag will provide extra verbose output about
test being executed and running the environment.
.. code-block:: console
(test-python) $ molecule --debug test
