Merge Django OpenStack Auth with Horizon
Django OpenStack Auth is a library consumed by Horizon that handles its interactions with Keystone. It was originally built as a separate library so that other auth plugins (like the now defunct Django OpenStack Auth Kerberos) could be swapped in. However, over time, the library has become increasingly highly coupled with Horizon, which is also its sole consumer to my knowledge.
There are a number of reasons why a merge would be beneficial:
- Reduce the workload involved in dependency management and upgrades. Currently, a Django bump requires a global-requirements change, a d_o_a requirements change, a d_o_a release, and upper-constraints change. After this blueprint, a single g-r change would be all that is required.
- Reduce the number of changes involved for Keystone improvements to work. At the moment, for Keystone-related improvements, we need to merge a change to d_o_a, release d_o_a, and then merge the linked (again, highly coupled) change to Horizon (usually settings examples, documentation, and release notes changes).

In the horizon side, the following needs to be done.
- [DONE] Revisit the doc structure. The reference index page says "Auth API Reference" but the form page contains both horizon and openstack_auth forms. I think it is better openstack_auth API reference has its own directory.
