Instance Details Redesign

Registered by Travis Tripp

Summary
=======
This is a redesign of the instance details page which will incorporate the UX collaboration done in the community before during and after the Kilo design summit. It will be based on angular and will incorporate many aspects of the development being done for the following blueprints:

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/horizon/+spec/launch-instance-redesign
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/horizon/+spec/angularize-identity-tables

Motivation
========
The instance is one of the most important interactions that users have with OpenStack. The current instance details form has been received poorly by new users and causes OpenStack to be unapproachable. We want to enable a more modern UI that is also more end-consumer friendly.

Description
=========
The instance detail panel will include a modern layout, access to enhanced descriptions, and an improved help system.

We will leverage widgets being done for identity management and launch instance to help improve consistency and reusability.

The UX mockups will provide the majority of the details.

The Instance Details screen currently includes an Actions pull-down that is a Django construct.
This feature should be implemented as a generic feature (e.g. an Angular directive) that can be used in other similar screens.

UX
===

The design is being done with the community and will be continued to be iterated on as necessary.

Wireframes, Mocks, Videos and UI Markup
---------------------------------------------------------
The user experience has been mocked up through many rounds of iteration with the community:

The iteration in the community has led to the following concepts being incorporated:

 * Be approachable to new users with information and help readily available
 * Ease of navigation between sections of information
 * Provide quick access to advanced settings for advanced users

Testing
======
Reviewers will be able to pull the patch from Gerritt.
