This patch splits out the Task layer and the API layer. This will better allow us to build more logic into the task layer, and better allow the APIs to be more flexible. This sets the foundations for future additions to task definitions, async task processing, and an overhaul of the config system for the service. - Task model and logic moved to 'tasks' app - TaskViews are now DelegateAPIs - stage email templates have been moved to the tasks app - better define Task model indexes - rename task/action stage pre_approve to prepare - rename task/action stage post_approve to approve - Added new TaskManager class for handling tasks - Removed redundant ip_address value on Task model - Remove redundant UserSetPassword view - Added custom exception handling for the API - Add new exception types - Simplified error responses by raising exceptions - standardized task API response codes on 202 unless task is completed - Use 503 Service Unavailable for service issues - Various task_types changed: - create_project to create_project_and_user - invite_user to invite_user_to_project - reset_password to reset_user_password - edit_user to edit_user_roles - update_email to update_user_email - reissuing task token now deletes old task tokens Story: 2004489 Change-Id: I33381c1c65b28b69f6ffeb3d73b50be95ee30ba7

Adjutant
A basic workflow framework built using Django and Django-Rest-Framework to help automate basic Admin tasks within an OpenStack cluster.
Primarily built as user registration service that fits into the OpenStack ecosystem alongside Keystone, its purpose to fill functionality missing from Keystone. Ultimately it is just a framework with actions that are tied to an endpoint and can require certain data fields and perform actions via the OpenStack clients as well as talk to external systems as needed.
Useful for automating generic admin tasks that users might request but otherwise can't do without the admin role. Also allows automating the signup and creation of new users, but also allows such requests to require approval first if wanted. Due to issuing of uri+tokens for final steps of some actions, allows for a password submit/reset system as well.
