RFE: We should embed release information in the image, and then check for that in the quickstart

[Lars Kellogg-Stedman]

The image building scripts should add something like /etc/openstack-release containing the release name.

Then we can check this in the quickstart against whatever has been passed in from the command line/config/etc, and error out if it doesn't match.

This would make failures due to version skew a lot more obvious.

Piggy-backing on this RFE:
hosting images on buildlogs.centos.org CDN has an issue: md5sum is propagating faster than the image, marking download as failed when comparing old image against updated md5 checksum.
Quick idea is to change download format to tarball which includes image + md5 and could as well as include openstack-release info requested here.

I think this is an upstream(-ish) problem. The *packaging* should be populating /etc/openstack-release, ideally via an openstack-release package (just like fedora-release/epel-release/etc).
