[OpenStack-DefCore] Recommended tempest.conf settings

This is great!  With Dr. Shunde Zhang's permission.  I would like to  add
this link to the Interop-Challenge wiki as well [1]..

Note that RefStack will provide new features to associate test results to
vendors in the next release,  Only data that are uploaded with user
association can be linked to vendors. As said,  I highly recommend that
data should be uploaded with user signatures per instructions described in
[2].  By uploading data with user association,  users can manage the data
(CRUD) and decide to share the data with the community anonymously or with
vendor linkage.  In addition,  anonymous data upload will be disable in the
near future.

Dr. Shunde Zhang from Aptira has a really good blog post about configuring
Tempest
for interoperability testing.

https://aptira.com/testing-openstack-tempest-part-1/

With his permission, I’d like to incorporate this into our docs.

      Hi Daniel & Gema,

      I am all for minimizing the barrier of entry for end users. My main
      concern is the maintenance and trouble shooting support of the script
      for ALL cloud deployments. I support the idea as long as this has
      been considered and addressed in advance.

      Hi Daniel & Catherine,

      I think we should definitely write the documentation, I will be doing
      that and sending a patch for review for it.

      Then Daniel and I can also work on the integration of this script,
      make
      sure script and documentation are in sync and have a commit for that
      so
      people can try it and Catherine can determine whether it is going to
      be
      helpful and release some of the time she spends helping people
      configure
      tempest or not.

      The one problem I see is the maintenance overhead of this script, but
      we
      have that overhead now distributed amongst all the people running the
      tests and it ends up increasing the barrier of entry to running the
      tests for end users.

      If RefStack is not the right place for it we could also have it as a
      helper script in the Defcore repo, so I think this work is valuable
      if
      we implement it/document it the right way.

      Thanks,
      Gema
