Title:
  Add rootwrap to Horizon

Status in OpenStack Dashboard (Horizon):
  Invalid

Bug description:
  openstack/oslo-incubator contains a module rootwrap[1] which provides an easy and pluggable interface allowing commands to be run as root.  As an openstack_dashboard plugin developer, I would like to be able to use this functionality to execute commands from Horizon using an established and secure method.  This would allow me to enhance my dashboards/panels with additional information from the system.  Adding rootwrap from oslo to Horizon would give third parties the ability to safely execute commands in a manner which is consistent with other components of openstack (nova, cinder, etc).
