Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] I noticed that
python-oslo.reports could not be built reproducibly.

This was because the documentation (somewhat-uselessly) generated
documentation for the tests themselves, which revealed some MagicMock
special objects that had had a Python string representation containing
a nondetermistic number.

For example:

  -<code class="descname">MM_FILE</code><em class="property"> = <MagicMock name='file_obj' id='139866970863568'></em>
  +<code class="descname">MM_FILE</code><em class="property"> = <MagicMock name='file_obj' id='140338508670736'></em>

Patch attached that simply skips the API documentation for the tests
from being generated in the first place.
