Dollar signs in swift backend passwords causes errors

[Major Hayden]

If a deployer chooses to use a swift backend for glance that uses a dollar sign ($) in the password, the authentication attempt from glance to the swift backend will fail. This is due to the way that oslo.config formats strings from configuration files. This bug has more details:

The proper way to escape is to add an additional dollar sign, but this isn't well documented within oslo.config or openstack-ansible.

    Adding docs/comments for glance config

    Deployers who use a dollar sign ($) in their swift backend passwords for glance
    will be unable to authenticate to the swift backend. This is due to how
    oslo.config formats strings. This patch adds documentation and comments to
    the user_variables.yml to ensure deployers know how to escape those strings.

    This patch also adds a commented variable for the auth version on swift
    backends so that deployers are reminded to use the correct version number.
