Stephen Finucane be1e6ca1d8 docs: Don't include ChangeLog
The ChangeLog is built using commit message summary lines. Unfortunately
some of these contain invalid rST markup. There's no way to
retroactively fix this, so simply stop including the doc.

Project Goals
-------------
* Use the OpenStack Python API libraries, extending or replacing them as required
* Use a consistent naming and structure for commands and arguments
* Provide consistent output formats with optional machine parseable formats
* Use a single-binary approach that also contains an embedded shell that can execute
multiple commands on a single authentication (see libvirt's virsh for an example)
* Independence from the OpenStack project names; only API names are referenced (to
the extent possible)
