Peter Stachowski f200cf24df Add 'Dashboard Impact' to default spec
Added a new Dashboard Impact section to the Trove spec default
document to track the UX changes for new features.

Updated existing specs to have the section (so they pass py27).

=============================
Postgres Configuration Groups
=============================
Launchpad Blueprint:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/trove/+spec/postgres-configuration-groups
Problem Description
===================
The Postgres guestagent currently does not support configuration groups.
Proposed Change
===============
The patch set will implement configuration groups for Postgres 9.3 or above.
Postgres stores its configuration [1]_ in 'postgresql.conf' file.
Configuration directives have key-value format:
"keyword = value"
In addition to the 'postgresql.conf' file already mentioned,
PostgreSQL uses two other configuration files
('pg_hba.conf' and 'pg_ident.conf'), which control client authentication.
These will be written directly by the guest-agent and will not
be exposed via the configuration groups mechanism.
Configuration changes can be loaded on the fly without interrupting
any open connections by the special 'pg_reload_conf' call [2]_.
Note that Postgres also has a 'SET' command, but it only affects the current
session values.
Most configuration properties will be available via configuration groups.
Some, however, do not make sense in the Trove context.
These include (will be documented in the configuration template):
- guestagent specific (e.g. file paths, passwords, file access rules)
- items that Trove needs to control (replication/clustering/log properties)
See `Available Configuration Properties`_ for the full list of supported
options.

CLI (python-troveclient)

This work will enable the following client commands:
* configuration-attach
* configuration-create
* configuration-default
* configuration-delete
* configuration-detach
* configuration-instances
* configuration-list
* configuration-parameter-list
* configuration-parameter-show
* configuration-patch
* configuration-show
* configuration-update
Guest Agent
-----------
* Implement *update_overrides* and *apply_overrides* in
the *manager* and *service* modules.
* A configuration template and validation rules will with changes noted in
`Available Configuration Properties`_ will be provided.
The existing 'PropertiesCodec' implementation will be reused to handle
text-file operations.
Configuration overrides will be implemented using the 'OneFileOverrideStrategy'
of the guestagent configuration manager.

Work Items
----------
All changes will be done in the context of a single task.
1. Implement configuration-related manager API calls:
.. code-block:: python
def update_overrides(self, context, overrides, remove=False)
def apply_overrides(self, context, overrides)
Upgrade Implications
====================
None
Dependencies
============
None
Testing
=======
The change is largely covered by the existing configuration tests.
Unit tests will be added to validate any Postgres-specific codepaths.
A 'postgres_helper' will be contributed to the scenario tests to
enable configuration coverage on this datastore.
Documentation Impact
====================
The datastore documentation should be updated to reflect the enabled features.
