Jay Pipes 3a9306054b Start of new developer documentation
There is currently no useful developer-focused documentation in-tree
for Neutron. There are a smattering of useful documents on the
OpenStack wiki, however, there isn't a good organization to this
information, nor is there a condensed developer focus to a lot of it.
Some of the wiki pages are more proposals for features or bug fixes,
and there is a need for architecture, design, and code walk-through
documentation for Neutron to help with new (and existing) contribution.

This patch begins the process of adding developer documentation to Neutron.
It updates the main developer reference index.rst to pull in-line with what
Nova is doing, leaving some todo references for future patches. It also
adds a development.environment tutorial that is up-to-date with current
Neutron development, using tox/testr processes for running unit tests and
including a number of references to external wiki pages that have
instructions for using DevStack for OpenStack contribution/testing.

The next series of patches will add automodule documentation to the
developer reference for some of the major modules in Neutron.

Developer Guide
===============
In the Developer Guide, you will find information on Neutron's lower level
programming APIs. There are sections that cover the core pieces of Neutron,
including its database, message queue, and scheduler components. There are
also subsections that describe specific plugins inside Neutron.
