Bug Description

Following discussion on IRC [1], it would be nice to have a contributor document describing the differences among the various move-ish operations -- for purposes of this bug, just rebuild and evacuate -- in terms of what happens to their allocations, images, UUIDs (instance vs migration), hosts (dest same/different from src), etc.

    Add evacuate vs rebuild contributor doc

    People often get confused about the differences between
    evacuate and rebuild operations, especially since the
    conductor and compute methods are both called "rebuild_instance".
    This change adds a contributor document which explains some
    of the high and low level differences between the two operations.
