Update cfg from openstack-common
Use openstack-common's update.py script to pull in some recent changes: * Add the Mapping interface to cfg.ConfigOpts * Add support to cfg for disabling interspersed args Make use of both of these in nova/flags.py. Add some dire warnings to HACKING about directly modifying the copy of openstack-common code. I'm confident they won't be ignored :-) Change-Id: I7ef75d18922c0bbb8844453b48cad0418034bc11

+openstack-common
+----------------
+
+A number of modules from openstack-common are imported into the project.
+
+These modules are "incubating" in openstack-common and are kept in sync
+with the help of openstack-common's update.py script. See:
+
+ http://wiki.openstack.org/CommonLibrary#Incubation
+
+The copy of the code should never be directly modified here. Please
+always update openstack-common first and then run the script to copy
+the changes across.
