Update documentation
Slight update to make it hopefuly a little bit clearer. Include the README as the top-level document. Remove the unused other files, but keep a link to CONTRIBUTING. Move some of the details into a "systemd" subsection to make the different paths a bit clearer. Change-Id: I0f5335611255bf6873d03bdbbc5d6c9d7ec5a6d4

What does glean do?

-------------------

|

Glean firstly checks for configuration drive based information and, if

found, uses that for network configuration. If config-drive is not

Broadly, glean checks for configuration drive based information and,

if found, uses that to configure the network. If config-drive is not

found, it falls back to configuring any available interfaces with
|

DHCP.
|

|

Specifically, it will mount the special block-device with label
|
||||
`config-2` and parse the `network_info.json` and `vendor_info.json`
|
||||
files within. If appropriate network configuration is found, it will
|
||||
write out network configuration files (e.g. `/etc/sysconfig/network/`
|
||||
scripts on Red Hat platforms, `/etc/interfaces` on Debian, etc).

If no network info is found there, available interfaces can be probed
|

from `/sys/class/net` and any that appear to be up will be configured

for use with DHCP.

It will also handle `authorized_keys` and host-name info provided from

`meta_data.json`.

systemd environment
|
||||
===================
|
||||
|
||||
glean install will add a `udev` rules file (`99-glean.rules`) that
|
||||
triggers on any network device being added. This will run the
|
||||
`glean@.service` systemd template for the interface specified.
|
||||
|
||||
This systemd unit firstly determines if there is already a
|
||||
`/etc/sysconfig/network/` configuration for the interface; if so, the
|
||||
interface is considered configured and skipped.
|
||||
|
||||
If not, glean is started with the interface specified. The
|
||||
configuration drive is probed to see if network configuration for the
|
||||
interface is available. If so, it will be added, otherwise the
|
||||
interface will configured for DHCP.
