OpenStack Charms

Registered by Patricia Gaughen

[RATIONALE]
Juju Charms are the preferred way to deploy OpenStack on Ubuntu; we have a solid charm set from 12.04; these need updating and improving for 14.04

[GOAL]
OpenStack and supporting charms for Ubuntu 14.04; incremental improvements to support easier third-party networking and storage integration.
