This makes a few changes:
1) Per documentation policy, lowercase project names ("ironic" and
"nova").
2) Adds a blurb about reading the release notes before upgrading, as
that's where per-version upgrade steps and recommendations are now
documented. Refers to the per-cycle upgrade steps in this guide as
"pre-release-notes" upgrade docs.
3) Adds a general upgrade process - upgrade ironic before nova, and the
steps to upgrade ironic.

Ironic
Ironic is an integrated OpenStack project which aims to provision bare metal machines instead of virtual machines, forked from the Nova Baremetal driver. It is best thought of as a bare metal hypervisor API and a set of plugins which interact with the bare metal hypervisors. By default, it will use PXE and IPMI together to provision and turn on/off machines, but Ironic also supports vendor-specific plugins which may implement additional functionality.
