[Bug 1300710] [NEW] Improve settings doc: add "added in <release>" information

 

Public bug reported:

We direct users to
http://docs.openstack.org/developer/horizon/topics/settings.html when
they have a question about settings. They also find the page when
searching for help. However it's not clear at all what release a setting
is available for, especially when it's added to a version that hasn't
been released yet.

I think we should add information like "added in Grizzly" or "new in
2014.1 (Icehouse)", similar to what the Django or Python docs do. It is
really useful.

https://docs.python.org/2.7/library/unittest.html#unittest.TestCase.setUpClass
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/ref/settings/#csrf-cookie-httponly

See related bug 1221115, which is about adding missing settings (but we
don't need to wait for it to be resolved to start fixing this one).
