Fix recursive_keypairs output

recursive_keypairs has 'separator' argument. This method is recursive
and a problem is that 'separator' argument is applied only in first
iteration of the method.

Besides, this method is used in flatten_metadata in API implementation.
That's why it is needed not to change output from recursive_keypairs in flatten_metadata.

So the path has a goal to fix incorrect recursive_keypairs impementation but
not to change output of flatten_matadata in API

Replace non-ascii symbols in docs

In order to successfully run sphinxcontrib-spelling on Ceilometer docs we need
to replace all non-ascii symbols with the analogous ones from ascii.

Without this fix sphinxcontrib-spelling will fail with:
"UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u2019'
in position 8: ordinal not in range(128)"

samples: fix test case status code check

If a driver returns NotImplemented, the status code won't be 404 but the
test should not fail. Use the status argument in get_json for that check.

Correct a misuse of RestController in the Event API

When nested RestControllers exist, in order to determine which
arguments are associated with the parent resource, pecan looks at the
get_one() method signature in the parent controller.

TraitsController needs the EventTypesController.get_one method to exist in
order to properly pass the `event_type` identifier.

nova notifier: disable tests + update sample conf

The nova notifier is again broken due to Nova switch to oslo.messaging.

Anyway, it's likely that this code has been broken for a long time, as
it is not enabled nor tested on devstack anymore. And it's very unlikely
compatible with oslo.messaging.

This patch only disable the run of the tests for now, but we might
consider removing the code before i3 if nobody stands up and try to fix
it in a way or another.

This patch also update the configuration file for the new keystoneclient
release.

Fix string-to-boolean casting in queries

There is a function that converts strings to boolean that uses the
following rule:
Strings-True ('1', 't', 'true', 'on', 'y', 'yes') are converted to True
Strings-False ('0', 'f', 'false', 'off', 'n', 'no') are converted to False

But there is a default value (False by default) that returned in case when
the string is not in any of lists above. So by default any string that is
not in Strings-True will be converted to False. We may change this behaviour
by using strict=True checking.

If user creates a query we should validate that only valid strings (as above)
or boolean True or False are used in case of boolean filter.

Relates to bug 1236496

Adds additional details to alarm notifications

Previously, the alarm notification contained only a stringified
reason. This change adds a JSON formatted reason why the alarm changed its
state to the notification.

New notification:
{
  "alarm_id": "0ca2845e-c142-4d4b-a346-e495553628ce",
  "current": "alarm",
  "previous": "ok",
  "reason": "Transition to alarm due to 1 samples outside threshold, most recent: 99.4"
  "reason_data": {
    "type": "threshold",
    "disposition": "outside",
    "count": 1,
    "most_recent": 99.4
  }
}

It also improves the reporting of OR-combination alarms. Previously the
reason said something like "At least one alarm in xx,yy,zz in state alarm".
Now only the offending alarms are listed.
