Add the condition for using a project term

Browse Source 
Most projects contain both their own project name and service name,
and **project name** vs. **service type** guideline is defined for
most cases. However, on current big-tent trend, some projects don't
contain them. So this patch makes the guideline clear for most cases.

* **project name** vs. **service type**
Each OpenStack project has both a "project name" (e.g., Nova, Keystone, etc.)
and a "service type" (e.g., Compute, Identity, etc.). Some REST API features
(e.g., JSON-Home, API Microversions, etc.) need to expose each project in a
request/response.
The project *should* be represented with its **service type** because its
project name is subject to change (e.g., Neutron was Quantum) and its service
type is more stable. The service type should come from "type" of the
corresponding OpenStack Identity service catalog entry.
