Developer Information

Updating API docs

In test/data/[foreman_version]/foreman_api.json, we include the Apipie documentation, with generated examples from the tests.

When adding new features to the hammer, you'll need to update this.

From foreman directory, run remote execution tests with examples enabled:
```
 APIPIE_RECORD=examples rake test:foreman_remote_execution
```
From foreman directory, generate the apipie cache for English:
```
 FOREMAN_APIPIE_LANGS=en rake apipie:cache
```

Copy the docs to hammer_cli_foreman_remote_execution

 cp public/apipie-cache/apidoc/v2.en.json ~/hammer_cli_foreman_remote_execution/test/data/1.10/foreman_api.json
