Unified project packaging
Our current strategy of shipping two modules in one repository with separate setup.py files is messy and detrimental.
The new version of manage.py that will ship with Django 1.4 (but works perfectly right now) is meant to live one directory up from the "project" directory (e.g. one dir up from where it lives in horizon now). This cleans up some path import ugliness, but it was also done to promote the separation between projects and apps.
In short, it makes it trivial to ship an app with a "sample project" next to it.
What we would need to do:
1. Move the horizon/
2. Move manage.py up one more directory from horizon/
3. Create a new, unified setup.py in at horizon/setup.py and delete the other two setup.py files.
4. Adjust hardcoded paths in files like run_tests.sh and the Sphinx conf.
5. Notify external projects (e.g. devstack) of the change.
