Improve module documentation and doc cleanup.
This adds lots of config module documentation in a standard format. It will greatly improve the content at readthedocs. Additionally: * Add a 'doc' env to tox.ini * Changed default highlight language for sphinx conf from python to yaml most examples in documentation are yaml configs * Updated datasource examples to highlight sh code properly

+Users and Groups
+----------------
+**Summary:** configure users and groups
+
+This module configures users and groups. For more detailed information on user
+options, see the ``Including users and groups`` config example.
+
+Groups to add to the system can be specified as a list under the ``groups``
+key. Each entry in the list should either contain a the group name as a string,
+or a dictionary with the group name as the key and a list of users who should
+be members of the group as the value.
+
+The ``users`` config key takes a list of users to configure. The first entry in
+this list is used as the default user for the system. To preserve the standard
+default user for the distro, the string ``default`` may be used as the first
+entry of the ``users`` list. Each entry in the ``users`` list, other than a
+``default`` entry, should be a dictionary of options for the user. Supported
+config keys for an entry in ``users`` are as follows:
+
+ - ``name``: The user's login name
+ - ``homedir``: Optional. Home dir for user. Default is ``/home/<username>``
+ - ``primary-group``: Optional. Primary group for user. Default to new group
+ named after user.
+ - ``groups``: Optional. Additional groups to add the user to. Default: none
+ - ``selinux-user``: Optional. SELinux user for user's login. Default to
+ default SELinux user.
+ - ``lock_passwd``: Optional. Disable password login. Default: true
+ - ``inactive``: Optional. Mark user inactive. Default: false
+ - ``passwd``: Hash of user password
+ - ``no-create-home``: Optional. Do not create home directory. Default:
+ false
+ - ``no-user-group``: Optional. Do not create group named after user.
+ Default: false
+ - ``no-log-init``: Optional. Do not initialize lastlog and faillog for
+ user. Default: false
+ - ``ssh-import-id``: Optional. SSH id to import for user. Default: none
+ - ``ssh-autorized-keys``: Optional. List of ssh keys to add to user's
+ authkeys file. Default: none
+ - ``sudo``: Optional. Sudo rule to use, or list of sudo rules to use.
+ Default: none.
+ - ``system``: Optional. Create user as system user with no home directory.
+ Default: false
+
+.. note::
+ Specifying a hash of a user's password with ``passwd`` is a security risk
+ if the cloud-config can be intercepted. SSH authentication is preferred.
+
+.. note::
+ If specifying a sudo rule for a user, ensure that the syntax for the rule
+ is valid, as it is not checked by cloud-init.
