[openstack-dev] [Horizon][searchlight] Sharing resource type implementations

Hey folks,

Another potential issue is that the searchlight module structure and
Horizon's module structure are different in a couple of respects. I
could just retain the module structure from searchlight
('resources.os-nova-servers') or, preferably, I could rename those
modules to match the Horizon structure more closely
('horizon.app.resources.os-nova-servers') or more strictly
('horizon.app.core.instances').

As far as I can tell none of the module names are referenced directly
outside of the module (apart from resources.module.js of course) so
moving the modules shouldn't affect any existing usage in searchlight
ui.

We could bikeshed this for ages, so if I could just get Rob and Steve
to wrestle over it or something, that'd be good. Rob's pretty scrappy.

The main thing is to make sure we get it done within one cycle, even if it isn’t default. this means searchlight-ui doesn’t have to carry some horrible workarounds and can just remove the code from their repo.
