This rename to "conductor" more clearly communicates that this service
has a many-to-many relationship. One or more service instances
coordinate between each other to conduct actions on a set of nodes,
using guarded locks to prevent conflicting simultaneous actions on any
given node. The old name "manager" suggested a more one-to-many relationship,
which is not the design pattern which we use here.
Rename ironic/manager to ironic/conductor
Rename ironic.manager.manager.ManagerService
to ironic.conductor.manager.ConductorManager
Rename ironic-manager to ironic-conductor
Update docs too

Ironic
Ironic is an Incubated 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 in concert to provision and turn on/off machines, but Ironic also supports vendor-specific plugins which may implement additional functionality.
