[Bug 1233752] [NEW] openstack-dashboard should not write to /etc/openstack-dashboard

[James Page]

Public bug reported:

The horizon codebase contains code which generates and stores a secret
key on disk if one is not supplied in local_settings.py.

This needs to not be /etc/openstack-dashboard/secret_key - /var/lib
/openstack-dashboard should be more appriopriate with write permissions
for www-data.

Right now the dashboard just errors out due to lack to write permissions
to /etc/openstack-dashboard.
