Code Issues Proposed changes

Document token hash algorithm option 

With https://review.openstack.org/#/c/116509/ ,
django-openstack-auth will support a new option for the token hash
algorithm. This adds the documentation to Horizon's local settings
example file.

This is for security hardening. The token hash algorithm defaults
to MD5, which is considered too weak due to the potential for hash
collisions. Some security standards require a SHA2 hash algorithm to
be used.

``OPENSTACK_TOKEN_HASH_ALGORITHM``
----------------------------------
.. versionadded:: 2014.2(Juno)
Default: ``"md5"``
The hash algorithm to use for authentication tokens. This must match the hash
algorithm that the identity (Keystone) server and the auth_token middleware
are using. Allowed values are the algorithms supported by Python's hashlib
library.
