Stephen Finucane b5edc294a1 docs: Add man pages for 'nova-policy'
I don't actually grok what this does that 'oslopolicy-checker' couldn't
do, so perhaps we can deprecate this in the future. For now though,
simply document the thing. While we're here, we make some additional
related changes:

- Remove references to the 'policy.yaml' file for services that don't
  use policy (i.e. everything except the API services and, due to a bug,
  the nova-compute service).
- Update remaining references to the 'policy.yaml' file to include the
  'policy.d/' directory
- Update the help text for the '--api-name' and '--target' options of
  the 'nova-policy policy check' command to correct tense and better
  explain their purpose.

Also, yes, 'nova-policy policy check' is dumb. Don't blame me :)

Description
===========
:program:`nova-api-metadata` is a server daemon that serves the Nova Metadata
API. This daemon routes database requests via the ``nova-conductor`` service,
so there are some considerations about using this in a
