Backing up and restore an Undercloud

Registered by Carlos Camacho

This feature aims to provide a backup and restore process for the Undercloud.

The idea is if a user has an Undercloud and wants to run any possible disruptive task, provide a standard way of recovering from a failed state.

The idea is to have these processes:
    openstack undercloud backup -> Backs up the Undercloud based on a filesystem backup.
    Provide enough documentation upstream to be able to restore a damaged Undercloud node.
