    Document unset/reset wrinkle for *_allocation_ratio options

    This is a follow up to I43a23a3290db0c835fed01b8d6a38962dc61adce
    which makes the cpu/disk/ram_allocation_ratio config "sticky" in
    that once set to a non-default value, it is not possible to reset
    back to the default behavior (when config is 0.0) on an existing
    compute node record by unsetting the option from nova.conf. To
    reset back to the defaults, the non-0.0 default would have to be
    explicitly put into config, so cpu_allocation_ratio=16.0 for example.

    Alternatively operators could delete the nova-compute service
    record via the DELETE /os-services/{service_id} REST API and
    restart the nova-compute service to get a new compute_nodes record,
    but that workaround is messy and left undocumented in config.
