[cobbler] Documentation on new mgmt_classes fields

[Pezzarossi, Gianni]

Hey guys,  So while setting up a new cobbler server (2.6.11)  I was adding in some
management classes and noticed that since the last version we had running (2.2.2), the web
management fields have changed.

2.2.2 only had fields for: Name, Owners, Comment, Packages, and Files.

2.6.11 now has those same fields, plus: Class Name, Is Definition?, Parameters/Variables

However I can't find anything that says where/if these fields are used? Like what is
the difference between Name, and Class Name fields?

We use the management classes to export to ansible for config management, and they show up
as expected if we just populate the name field.  But I'm just curious as to what the
function of the rest is.

Thanks,
