Add docs about failures during evaluation

The operators aren't mindreaders.  Lets throw them a bone about
how to properly evaluate Kolla.  This can probably be expanded
on.

Failures
--------
Nearly always when Kolla fails, it is caused by a CTRL-C during the
deployment process or a problem in the globals.yml configuration.
To correct the problem where Operators have a misconfigured
environment, the Kolla developers have added a precheck feature which
ensures the deployment targets are in a state where Kolla may deploy
to them. To run the prechecks, execute:
::
kolla-ansible prechecks
If a failure during deployment occurs it nearly always occurs during
evaluation of the software. Once the Operator learns the few
configuration options required, it is highly unlikely they will experience
a failure in deployment.
Deployment may be run as many times as desired, but if a failure in a
bootstrap task occurs, a further deploy action will not correct the problem.
In this scenario, Kolla's behavior is undefined.
The fastest way during evaluation to recover from a deployment failure is to
remove the failed deployment:
On each node where OpenStack is deployed run:
::
tools/cleanup-containers
tools/cleanup-host
The Operator will have to copy via scp or some other means the cleanup
scripts to the various nodes where the failed containers are located.
The kolla community has separate commands planned for Mitaka for
reconfiguring the services and upgrading them. These should be used when
they are available instead of the deploy operation.
