Dedup HACKING.rst and remove any pep8 or OpenStack hacking rules

Point to OpenStack Style Guide instead of directly to pep8 (it points to
pep8). Remove any rules that are already covered in pep8 or in hacking.

This is the same format that integrated projects are using for there
hacking docs.

General
-------
- Optimize for readability; whitespace is your friend.
- Put two newlines between top-level code (funcs, classes, etc.)
- Put one newline between methods in classes and anywhere else.
- Use blank lines to group related logic.
- Never write ``except:`` (use ``except Exception:`` instead, at
the very least).
- All classes must inherit from ``object`` (explicitly).
- Use single-quotes for strings unless the string contains a
single-quote.

different sections of the code.
- Choose clean, descriptive names for functions and variables to make
them self-documenting.
- Include your name with TODOs as in ``# TODO(termie): blah blah...``.
- Add ``# NOTE(termie): blah blah...`` comments to clarify your intent, or
to explain a tricky algorithm, when it isn't obvious from just reading
the code.

Identifiers
-----------
- Do not give anything the same name as a built-in or reserved word.
- Don't use single characters in identifiers except in trivial loop variables and mathematical algorithms.
- Avoid abbreviations, especially if they are ambiguous or their meaning would not be immediately clear to the casual reader or newcomer.

Imports
-------
- Only modules may be imported
- Do not make relative imports
- Order your imports by the full module path
- Classes and functions may be hoisted into a package namespace, via __init__ files, with some discretion.
- Organize your imports according to the template given below
Template::
{{stdlib imports in human alphabetical order}}

{{third-party lib imports in human alphabetical order}}

{{marconi imports in human alphabetical order}}

**DO NOT** leave an extra newline before the closing triple-double-quote.
Dictionaries/Lists
------------------
If a dictionary (dict) or list object is longer than 80 characters, its items
should be split with newlines. Embedded iterables should have their items
indented. Additionally, the last item in the dictionary should have a trailing
comma. This increases readability and simplifies future diffs.
Example::
my_dictionary = {
"image": {
"name": "Just a Snapshot",
"size": 2749573,
"properties": {
"user_id": 12,
"arch": "x86_64",
},
"things": [
"thing_one",
"thing_two",
],
"status": "ACTIVE",
},
}
Calling Methods
---------------
Calls to methods 80 characters or longer should format each argument with
newlines. This is not a requirement, but a guideline::
unnecessarily_long_function_name('string one',
'string two',
kwarg1=constants.ACTIVE,
kwarg2=['a', 'b', 'c'])
Rather than constructing parameters inline, it is better to break things up::
list_of_strings = [
'what_a_long_string',
'not as long',
]
dict_of_numbers = {
'one': 1,
'two': 2,
'twenty four': 24,
}
object_one.call_a_method('string three',
'string four',
kwarg1=list_of_strings,
kwarg2=dict_of_numbers)
Internationalization (i18n) Strings
-----------------------------------
In order to support multiple languages, we have a mechanism to support
automatic translations of exception and log strings.
Example::
msg = _("An error occurred")
raise HTTPBadRequest(explanation=msg)
If you have a variable to place within the string, first internationalize the
template string then do the replacement.
Example::
msg = _("Missing parameter: {0}").format("flavor",)
LOG.error(msg)
If you have multiple variables to place in the string, use keyword parameters.
This helps our translators reorder parameters when needed.
Example::
msg = _("The server with id {s_id} has no key {m_key}")
LOG.error(msg.format(s_id=1234", m_key=imageId"))
Creating Unit Tests
-------------------
For every any change, unit tests should be created that both test and
(implicitly) document the usage of said feature. If submitting a patch for a
bug that had no unit test, a new passing unit test should be added. If a
submitted bug fix does have a unit test, be sure to add a new one that fails
without the patch and passes with the patch.
NOTE: 100% coverage is required
openstack-common
----------------
A number of modules from openstack-common are imported into the project.
These modules are "incubating" in openstack-common and are kept in sync
with the help of openstack-common's update.py script. See:
http://wiki.openstack.org/CommonLibrary#Incubation
The copy of the code should never be directly modified here. Please
always update openstack-common first and then run the script to copy
the changes across.
Logging
-------
Use __name__ as the name of your logger and name your module-level logger
