[openstack-dev] Troubleshooting and ask.openstack.org

I think we want something a bit more organized.

Morgan tossed the idea of a keystone-docs repo, which could have:

- The FAQ Adam is asking about
- Install guides (moved over from openstack-manuals)
- A spot for all those neat and unofficial blog posts we do
- How-to guides
- etc...

I think it's a neat idea and warrants some discussion. Of course, we don't
want to be the odd project out.
