Martin Kopec cdc0266de5 Allow to specify min flavor memory and disk size
python-tempestconf doesn't provide any way how to define a
different flavor memory and disk size but provides an option
for defining a custom image (not cirros which is default).
However, when using custom image the default flavor size is
not enough.
Therefore the review adds two arguments which can be used
for defining flavor minimum memory and minimum disk size.

The review also edits the documentation and fixes a few typos.

Usage
=====
**Before** reading this page, **it's recommended** to go through `User Guide`_
first as the content on this site is more advanced and uses knowledge gained
from the `User Guide`_.
.. _User Guide: ../user/usage.html
This page shows examples of usage of ``python-tempestconf`` where **admin
credentials** are **required**. That means, only users with admin credentials
will run :command:`discover-tempest-config` with arguments described on this
page successfully.
Why admin credentials? It's because ``python-tempestconf`` can create resources
**necessary** for tempest execution in order to make user's life easier.
The following resources are created **only when** ``--create`` argument is
used:
* flavors, to see what flavors are created, see User Guide, `Flavors`_
section
* users, to see what users are created, see User Guide, `Users`_ section
.. _Flavors: ../user/usage.html#flavors
.. _Users: ../user/usage.html#users
Examples
--------
In the following example, ``python-tempestconf`` will create all necessary
resources (`Flavors`_ and `Users`_) if they don't exist already:
.. code-block:: shell-session
$ discover-tempest-config \
--os-cloud devstack-admin \
--create
If a user wants to use a custom image (instead of the default cirros one),
a minimum memory and disk size for new flavors can be defined by
``--flavor-min-mem`` and ``--flavor-min-disk`` arguments.
.. code-block:: shell-session
$ discover-tempest-config \
--image <path/url to custom image> \
--flavor-min-mem 1024 \
--flavor-min-disk 10
In the example above ``python-tempestconf`` will create *custom* flavor with
1024 MB of RAM and 10 GB of disk size and *custom_alt** flavor with 1024 + 1 MB
of RAM and 10 GB of disk size.
``python-tempestconf`` can also create a minimal accounts file when
``--create-accounts-file`` is used. It can be useful when a user doesn't have
any ``accounts.yaml`` and wants to create it. It can be done with one call:
.. code-block:: shell-session
$ discover-tempest-config \
--os-cloud devstack-admin \
--create \
--create-accounts-file ~/accounts.yaml
The call above will behave the same as if ``--test-accounts`` argument was
used, `see here`_. The generated accounts file will look similarly to this one:
.. _see here: ../user/usage.html#usage-with-tempest-accounts-file
.. code-block:: ini
$ cat ~/accounts.yaml
# A minimal accounts.yaml file
# Will likely not work with swift, since additional
# roles are required. For more documentation see:
# https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/tempest/tree/etc/accounts.yaml.sample
