Code Issues Proposed changes

drop api and storage references from install-guide 

stop telling people how to use deprecated/unmaintained stuff
- remove all db docs detailing mongo install/config
- cleanup get_started.rst
  - remove note about future agents because i don't know what magic
    it's hinting at.
  - add note that collector is optional
- drop all notes about api service and notes about storage
- drop all stuff about configuring api with apache
- replace ceilometer+mongo config notes with ceilometer+gnocchi.
- remove keystone_authtoken config since no more api
- point all distro docs to gnocchi
- add a note to say api+storage is dead.

.. _environment-nosql-database-obs:
NoSQL database for openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Telemetry service uses a NoSQL database to store information. The database
typically runs on the controller node. The procedures in this guide use
MongoDB.
Install and configure components
--------------------------------
1. Enable the Open Build Service repositories for MongoDB based on
your openSUSE or SLES version:
On openSUSE:
.. code-block:: console
# zypper addrepo -f obs://server:database/openSUSE_Leap_42.1 Database
On SLES:
.. code-block:: console
# zypper addrepo -f obs://server:database/SLE_12_SP1 Database
.. note::
The packages are signed by GPG key ``05905EA8``. You should
verify the fingerprint of the imported GPG key before using it.
.. code-block:: console
Key Name: server:database OBS Project <server:database@build.opensuse.org>
Key Fingerprint: 116EB863 31583E47 E63CDF4D 562111AC 05905EA8
Key Created: Mon 08 Dec 2014 09:54:12 AM UTC
Key Expires: Wed 15 Feb 2017 09:54:12 AM UTC
Install the MongoDB package:
.. code-block:: console
# zypper install mongodb
2. Edit the ``/etc/mongodb.conf`` file and complete the following
actions:
* Configure the ``bind_ip`` key to use the management interface
IP address of the controller node.
.. code-block:: ini
bind_ip = 10.0.0.11
* By default, MongoDB creates several 1 GB journal files
in the ``/var/lib/mongodb/journal`` directory.
If you want to reduce the size of each journal file to
128 MB and limit total journal space consumption to 512 MB,
assert the ``smallfiles`` key:
.. code-block:: ini
smallfiles = true
You can also disable journaling. For more information, see the
`MongoDB manual <http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/>`__.
Finalize installation
---------------------
* Start the MongoDB service and configure it to start when
the system boots:
.. code-block:: console
# systemctl enable mongodb.service
# systemctl start mongodb.service

Ceilometer previously provided a storage and API solution. As of Newton,

recommended.

.. code-block:: ini
It is possible forego the collector service by modifying the
pipeline.yaml to use the ``gnocchi://`` publisher rather than
