Open Stack

Running this against a particular commit or a version tag
(Grizzly/Havanna/Icehouse) will be the same, since a particular version
tag it is also a commit. So, it could be good if the generated matrix
for a particular version tag is stored, for easy access and checking.

Regarding the implementation, the idea is to use devstack to deploy all
the OpenStack projects in a specific version, except the project that
you want to check (e.g. all projects at Havanna, Nova at Icehouse).
Then, over that deploy, to run a particular subset of Tempest tests, and
use the output to build the matrix.
