[Openstack] No /etc/nova/nova.conf

In general, it is unfortunate that there is such a big difference in the 
end result between deploying from source and from packages, even though 
they are supposed to function the same.  Ideally the process structure, 
locations of configuration files, etc. could be the same. The location 
of nova.conf is just one small piece. The current situation is confusing 
to new users and makes it more difficult for old users to try new 
versions of OpenStack in "real" environments. I realize this is a 
difficult issue because different distros do the packaging differently.
