Merge user and users sections of the docs
The openstack doc standard location is 'user', so go with that.
Incorporate pages from the shade and occ docs into the appropriate
places in the user index file.

This still leaves user/logging and user/guide/logging which need to be
rationalized. That will come in the next commit, as it also needs to
actually rationalize the logging helper functions.

Remove the Makefile, as it's not used by things.

Managing Policies

A policy type can be treated as the meta-type of a Policy object. A registry of policy types is built when the Cluster service starts. When creating a Policy object, you will indicate the policy type used in its spec property.

List Policies

To examine the list of policies:

../../examples/clustering/policy.py

When listing policies, you can specify the sorting option using the sort parameter and you can do pagination using the limit and marker parameters.

Full example: manage policy

Create Policy

When creating a policy, you will provide a dictionary with keys and values according to the policy type referenced.

../../examples/clustering/policy.py

Optionally, you can specify a metadata keyword argument that contains some key-value pairs to be associated with the policy.

Full example: manage policy

Find Policy

To find a policy based on its name or ID:

../../examples/clustering/policy.py

Full example: manage policy

Get Policy

To get a policy based on its name or ID:

../../examples/clustering/policy.py

Full example: manage policy

Update Policy

After a policy is created, most of its properties are immutable. Still, you can update a policy's name and/or metadata.

../../examples/clustering/policy.py

The Cluster service doesn't allow updating the spec of a policy. The only way to achieve that is to create a new policy.

Full example: manage policy

Delete Policy

A policy can be deleted after creation, provided that it is not referenced by any active clusters or nodes. If you attempt to delete a policy that is still in use, you will get an error message.
