Code Issues Proposed changes

Remove remaining 'big tent' references 

The words 'Big tent' have proven to be confusing to people.
Their initial meaning was that project teams can join OpenStack
if they are "one of us" (as defined by sharing our mission and
our principles). However, misinformed people (or people who
maliciously choose to be misinformed) took it to mean that
there is an absence of rules, and anything and anyone can call
themselves an OpenStack project.

While most references to the 'big tent' were replaced over time
(with references to the 'project structure reform of 2014', or
'official projects' depending on what the words were actually
used for), some mentions still remained. This commit cleans them
up.

The Oslo team has moved all previously incubated code from the
``openstack/oslo-incubator`` repository into separate library
repositories and released those libraries to the Python Package
Index. Many of our big tent project teams are still using the old,
Index. Many of our official project teams are still using the old,
unsupported, incubated versions of the code. The Oslo team has been
working to remove that incubated code from projects, and the time has
come to finish that work.
