Public bug reported:

It appears empty configuration files, with values being set on them do
not actually result in those values then being output. This appears to
be a feature/bug of iniparse and configparser and how it handles the
DEFAULT section whereby if the DEFAULT section is not present in the
initial document that subsequent modifications to the DEFAULT sections
keys and values will not cause a new DEFAULT section to be created (and
then output). Since nova.conf.sample recently disappeared and now the
handling of this returns an empty string (without a DEFAULT section) we
need to add logic that creates a DEFAULT section if it is not present in
the initial document to ensure that the keys/values we add/remove/set
are actually adjusted and output correctly.
