Update readme and create release notes

This is a first stab at the release notes which will need to be
completed before release.

Add release notes to docs

The release notes should also appear in the documentation, one file
per release.

add quantum release note

Found this note in the quantum notification code, think it is worth
being in the release notes.

Restore manual install documentation

The manual install documentation was accidentally removed when the
devstack instructions were added.  This commit restore these
instructions alongside devstack.
Update the devstack instruction to start the api server.
Create an manual installation section for the API server.

Make the instance counters use the same type

The version of the counter emitted by the pollster in the
compute agent and the version produced by the notification
handler use a different "type" value. Make them both
gauge.

Initialize the control_exchange setting

The definition of the control_exchange option
was commented out in openstack.common.rpc because
each application needs to set its own default.
Adding the value here puts ceilometer on the
"ceilometer" exchange, just as the other OpenStack
projects are on their own project-specific exchange.

Fix the configuration for the nova notifier

The global config object inside the ceilometer copy
of openstack.common.cfg was not being configured,
which meant the RPC code in openstack.common.rpc
was not set up. That lead to an infinite loop
when the notifier was invoked, since it tried
to connect to the message bus over and over and over.
This change forces the configuration object to be
loaded from the ceilometer agent configuration file,
assumed to be in /etc/ceilometer/ceilometer-agent.conf.

It also changes the notifier to do that initialization
the first time it is used, rather than when the module
is imported. This prevents the tests from loading the
module and initializing the config object, causing
exceptions in any subsequent code that tries to add
new configuration options.

Also folded into this changeset is a fix to use
the right db method to load the instance. Notification
messages contain the UUID of the object, not the
numerical key from the id column of the table. Therefore,
we need to use db.instance_get_by_uuid() instead of
db.instance_get().

Move net function in class method and fix instance id

The instance id copied is not the UUID, so it's useless because it does not
help to associate network with instances.

Also, move make_vnic_counter function into a class method since it's not
used anywhere else.

This fixes bug #1063693

network: do not emit counter on exists event, fix resource id

We only emit resource counters like "network.create" when the event is not
something like "network.exists", and we now emit it on the resource itself,
not on 'network'.

This fixes bug #1062949
