Automatically generate etc/neutron.conf file
Currently we track etc/neutron.conf file in the tree. This is bad in several ways.
- we bother developers to update etc/neutron.conf each time they add, edit or remove a setting raising maintenance cost.
- it's prone to errors (update to etc/neutron.conf may be missed in patches that update settings).
- etc/neutron.conf has several entries uncommented. This makes distributors job a bit more hard: to override any of these settings in downstream, distributors should put new values into neutron-dist.conf and to comment out the default value from etc/neutron.conf. If configuration file is automatically generated with all values commented out, then neutron-dist.conf is the only thing to edit downstream.
Other openstack projects already generate their config files on demand. F.e. nova removed the sample file (https:/
