Devananda van der Veen d0e49e1b41 Documentation update
This patch contains several changes to the documentation which
were brought about by, initially, removing the webapi/v1 page and
replacing it with a link to the /api-ref/ page.

As I did that, I saw that our front page (index.html) needed to
be updated as well, and decided that the front page needed to
actually be completely rerwitten -- while preserving all the links.

Some of the TOC links from the front page were malformed because
subpages included more than one H1 heading, so I had to make small
changes in the api-audit-support and code-contribution-guide and
dev-quickstart pages, in order for the front page to render properly.

As I corrected the headings on dev-quickstart, I realized the page
was not comprehensively organized, and so decided to reorganize the
sections and make it easier to navigate.

Here is a bullet-point summary of this change:
* Major changes to content and organization of index page
* Moved the version history from webapi/v1 to dev/webapi-version-history
* Added API conceptual guide at dev/webapi
* Replaced webapi/v1 with a link to dev/webapi, in case anyone
  bookmarked it
* Removed doc references to webapi/v1
* Merged the pages dev/contributing and dev/code-contribution-guide
* Removed duplicate H1 headers in deploy/api-audit-support
* Reorganized and renamed section headers in dev/dev-quickstart,
  and made some substantive corrections and changes as well
* Updated wording at the top of the index and deploy/user-guide pages.

API Audit Logging
=================
Audit middleware supports delivery of CADF audit events via Oslo messaging
notifier capability. Based on `notification_driver` configuration, audit events
can be routed to messaging infrastructure (notification_driver = messagingv2)
or can be routed to a log file (notification_driver = log).
Audit middleware creates two events per REST API interaction. First event has
information extracted from request data and the second one has request outcome
(response).
Enabling API Audit Logging
==========================
Audit middleware is available as part of `keystonemiddleware` (>= 1.6) library.
For infomation regarding how audit middleware functions refer `here.
<http://docs.openstack.org/developer/keystonemiddleware/audit.html>`_
Auditing can be enabled for the Bare Metal service by making the following changes
to ``/etc/ironic/ironic.conf``.
#. To enable audit logging of API requests::
[audit]
...
enabled=true
#. To customize auditing API requests, the audit middleware requires the audit_map_file setting
to be defined. Update the value of configuration setting 'audit_map_file' to set its
location. Audit map file configuration options for the Bare Metal service are included
in the etc/ironic/ironic_api_audit_map.conf.sample file. To understand CADF format
specified in ironic_api_audit_map.conf file refer to `CADF Format.
<http://www.dmtf.org/sites/default/files/standards/documents/DSP2038_1.0.0.pdf>`_::
[audit]
...
audit_map_file=/etc/ironic/ironic_api_audit_map.conf
#. Comma separated list of Ironic REST API HTTP methods to be ignored during audit.
For example: GET,POST. It is used only when API audit is enabled.
[audit]
...
ignore_req_list=GET,POST
