Andreas Jaeger e7885499dd Cleanup py27 and docs support
This repo is now testing only with Python 3, so let's make
a few cleanups:
- Remove python 2.7 stanza from setup.py
- Remove obsolete sections from setup.cfg
- Update classifiers
- Update requirements, no need for python_version anymore
- Cleanup doc/source/conf.py to remove now obsolete content,
  use sphinxcontrib.apidoc to build module index again (this
  seems to have been broken when switching to sphinx-build).
- Remove install_command from tox.ini, the default is fine
- Use TOX_CONSTRAINTS_FILE instead of obsolete UPPER_CONSTRAINTS_FILE.
- Update tox.ini for python3 only support.

This documentation explains how to get started with creating your own
disk-image-builder elements as well as some high level concepts for element
creation.
Quickstart
----------
To get started developing with ``diskimage-builder``, install to a
``virtualenv``::
$ mkdir dib
$ cd dib
$ virtualenv env
$ source env/bin/activate
$ git clone https://opendev.org/openstack/diskimage-builder
$ cd diskimage-builder
$ pip install -e .
You can now simply use ``disk-image-create`` to start building images
and testing your changes. When you are done editing, use ``git
review`` to submit changes to the upstream gerrit.
Python module documentation
---------------------------
For internal documentation on the DIB python components, see the
:ref:`modindex`.
