Dmitry Shulyak 203398ae83 Add spec on building dependencies procedure
Important: We can not use resources abstraction,
because we will need an ability to build different
graphs for tasks in lifecycle management

Also moved all specs to doc/spec directory

Entities
------------
We clearly need orchestration entities like:
1. resources/roles/services/profiles
Also we need inventory entities:
2. nodes/networks/ifaces/cluster/release ?
Q: how to allow developer to extend this entities by modules?
Options:
1. Use completely schema-less data model
(i personally more comfortable with sql-like data models)
2. Dont allow anything except standart entities, if developer needs
to manage custom data - he can create its own micro-service and
then integrate it via custom type of resource
(one which perform query to third-part service)
Identities and namespaces
---------------------------
Identities required for several reasons:
- allow reusage of created once entities
- provide clear api to operate with entities
- specify dependencies with identities
Will be root namespace polluted with those entities?
Options:
1. We can create some variable namespace explicitly
2. Or use something like namepsace/entity (example contrail/network)
Multiple options for configuration
----------------------------------
If there will be same parameters defined within different
modules, how this should behave?
1. First option is concatenate several options and make a list of choices.
2. Raise a validation error that certain thing can be enabled with another.
Looks like both should be supported.
Deployment code
----------------
We need to be able to expose all functionality of any
particular deployment tool.
Current challenge: how to specify path to some deployment logic?
