Installing tempest always requires root privileges

[Andrea Frittoli]

The tempest installation process now tries to deploy some files in /etc/tempest, which requires root privileges on most systems.
When installing in a virtualenv it's expected that no root privileges should be required.

This is caused by:

According to http://docs.openstack.org/developer/pbr/#files the path should not start with /, pbr will make sure the relative root is used (system wide, venv wide).

I also wondered why the init code looks like this:

parser.add_argument('--config-dir', '-c', default='/etc/tempest')

Doesn't that mean that 'tempest init' with no --config-dir will also require root?

 I proposed https://review.openstack.org/208004 to address the problem in the init code.

    Use relative path in data_files in setup.cfg

    The absolute path causes failures when installing in a virtual
    environment, not having root privileges.

    This change solves the installation in a virtual environment,
    but it does not fix yet the tempest init workflow when installing
    into a virtual environment.

    Partially-fixes bug #1480389

    Discover the correct default config dir

    Change the tempest init to discover the correct default config
    dir. When no config dir is specified, we should use a sane default.
    Which is /etc/tempest when tempest is installed system-wide, or
    [virtualenv_root]/etc/tempest when tempest is installed in a
    virtualenv.

    Closes bug #1480389
