initial code repo
This patch creates initial code repo.
For ceph, luminous stable release will be used for base code,
and next changes and optimization for ceph will be added to it.
For opensds, currently any changes can be upstreamed into original
opensds repo (https://github.com/opensds/opensds), and so stor4nfv
will directly clone opensds code to deploy stor4nfv environment.
And the scripts for deployment based on ceph and opensds will be
put into 'ci' directory.
