This does seem like the correct solution, except that it would require
having oslo.config and related tools installed just to build the sdist for
nova, and I imagine that will break distro packaging.

Moving config options from libraries to a separate file seems like a
reasonable compromise. What impact will that have on documentation
processes that are using the single file now?
