Currently Sphinx will fail to generate the documentation if we are using decorators from any OVO in cinder.objects, because the OVOs are only added to the cinder.objects namespace when the CLI programs are run. So we need to run `register_all` method during documentation generation to avoid failures like: AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Volume' This patch modifies autogenerated doc/source/conf.py file and since now it is no longer completely autogenerated it is added to PEP8 checks, which required some minor changes.

Cinder Development Docs
Files under this directory tree are used for generating the documentation for the Cinder source code.
Developer documentation is built to: http://docs.openstack.org/developer/cinder/
Tools
- Sphinx
-
The Python Sphinx package is used to generate the documentation output. Information on Sphinx, including formatting information for RST source files, can be found in the Sphinx online documentation.
- Graphviz
-
Some of the diagrams are generated using the
dot
language from Graphviz. See the Graphviz documentation for Graphviz and dot language usage information.
