Implements more fine-grained policy support within our API service, following the oslo policy-in-code spec, while maintaining compatibility with the previous default policy.json file. An empty policy.json file is included, along with a sample file listig all supported policy settings and their default values. A new tox target "genpolicy" has been added to ease automation of sample policy file generation. All calls to policy.enforce() have been replaced with with policy.authorize() to avoid silent failures when a rule is undefined, because enforce() does not raise() if the target rule does not exist. NOTE: policy.enforce() is not removed by this patch, but a deprecation warning will be logged if it this method is invoked. Updates unit test coverage for the new authorize() method, as well as more general unit test updates for some of the new rules.

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.
