Open Stack

All,

I went ahead and wrote the temp module that will fill the gaps that the
GPLv3 modules will eventually solve. It appears that upstream Shade still
doesn't have merge the capability to create roles, even though mordred has
the reviews up. This means even if we solve the licensing issue, we will
still be lacking role usage support until shade is updated upstream.

The review listed below has a 'kolla_keystone.py' module. As well as two
modules that are licensed ASL2.0 and I have permission from the author to
use in our repo (there is a link in each module with a git commit
referencing where they were pulled from with the appropriate license).
