Major Hayden 088884c731 Ensure that doc linting is included in the linters test 
The 'docs' tox target executes the doc8 lint test which may result in
failures when testing documentation builds, but OpenStack-CI does not
execute that tox target.

In order to ensure that we catch all standard documentation syntax
errors and prevent them from merging, this patch includes the docs
target in the 'linters' chain of tests.

Fixes for any failures which result from executing this test are also
included in the patch.

V-38513: The systems local IPv4 firewall must implement a deny-all, allow-by-exception policy for inbound packets.

In "iptables" the default policy is applied only after all the applicable rules in the table are examined for a match. Setting the default policy to "DROP" implements proper design for a firewall, i.e., any packets which are not explicitly permitted should not be accepted.
