Remove rhel6 and py26 support
el6 is shipped with Python 2.6.x which is not expected
to be supported with the openstack kilo release.
For el6 support we need to do lot of thing differently,
which makes the code more complicated.
This change removes el6 and py26 support from devstack.
This change also removed a discontinued (1 year ago)
openSUSE 12.2 code path, which used a similar codepath as el6.
Several comment related to el6 also removed or modified.

A: Today it is, yes. That is a specific exception that certain
DevStack contributors fought strongly against. The primary reason it
was allowed was to support using RHEL6 as the Python 2.6 test

Q: Are there any differences between Ubuntu and Fedora support?
A: Neutron is not fully supported prior to Fedora 18 due lack of
OpenVSwitch packages.
-Q: How about RHEL 6?
- A: RHEL 6 has Python 2.6 and many old modules packaged and is a
- challenge to support. There are a number of specific RHEL6
