XenServer new install: modify README
Modify the README to specify the new steps to install Openstack on XenServer. Specifically, the new install will use a network-installed Ubuntu VM on the XenServer host and install the OpenStack services on it. This eliminates the need for the dev machine (which was required with XenServer 6.0 and above). Change-Id: I5f86aa7929754e04ec4a959053c3fb871e3cda76
