Implement processing of an initial HOT hello world example

Registered by Thomas Spatzier

Implement end-to-end processing of an initial hello world style example using the HOT DSL being developed. That work involves the following items:

1) Finalize an initial hello world HOT template
2) Implement the engine code that will consume the HOT template and deploy it successfully
3) Document the HOT DSL constructs used in the hello world example

This BP is related to [1] and actually a break-down item of [1] to make it more actionable.

Whiteboard

Goal is to be able to consume an initial HOT template without impacting current CFN functionality. Steven Hardy drafted an initial patch that can serve as starting point for writing the engine part for this BP:

https://review.openstack.org/#/c/30353/

Based on this patch, the plan is to evolve the code and identify other parts that might need changes so an initial HOT template can be consumed and deployed successfully.

As for the sample template, several samples have been posted as results of discussions (see below). Those will be used as input and consolidated into one definitive hello world sample, also considering all review comments posted on those drafts. The samples are here:

https://review.openstack.org/#/c/27934/
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/28598/

Outcome of this work will be:
1) Patch to openstack/heat for the processing code
2) Patch to openstack/heat-templates for the final sample
3) Documentation of HOT features used in sample

Setting this bp to implemented, since hello world sample and processing code have been delivered. Will open addtional bps for h3 to add more features to HOT.
