When the REST API was first added, we attempted to document it using
OpenAPI 2.0 (formerly Swagger). This was mostly never completed because
(a) it was really tedious and (b) no one was that bothered. However, as
we expand the range of clients for the REST API, having a well
documented API becomes more and more of an asset.

Start doing this by adding a brand new schema, this time using OpenAPI.
This will entirely replace the older schema and, as such, is namespaced
separately. We start by documenting '/' (i.e. the index) page and will
add additional resources as we go.

What does the servers mapping signify? I just worry a bit about making
OzLabs the canonical reference point as it isn't always up to date...

You're telling me :) Yeah, this was initially auto-generated with a
combination of drf-yasg and DRF's new 'generateschema' command, the
former of which produced a pretty good schema but in openapi 2.0 format
and the latter of which produced an mostly useless schema but in
openapi 3.0.0 format. I imagine this will be easier to extend going
forward than it was to write from scratch.

This field is really intended for deployed applications as opposed to
installable ones, I guess, and unfortunately we don't have anything
better to use as a canonical reference point. I can see if I can drop
it at merge time but, assuming it's not possible to do so, this won't
actually be used in our documentation and can probable be ignored?
