git-harry 322126212e Fix calls to assert_called_once in unit tests
Mock has a method called assert_called_once_with to check that a mock
was called and the arguments it took were as expected. Mock does not
have a method called assert_called_once and calling it just creates a
mock bound to that name. This means that not only is nothing tested
when assert_called_once is used, the tests also don't warn about this.

This commit attempts to address this in two ways:
    - all occurrences of assert_called_once are replaced with a real
      assertion.
    - the hacking check that nova uses to guard against this has been
      copied to cinder's local hacking checks.

Fixing the assert_called_once issues also highlighted other mistakes
in certain tests which were addressed to make the tests pass.

Due to the nature of mock, this issue is also possible if a method is
misspelt or just mistakenly used and so the hacking check is only
addressing one very specific case. That said, it does appear to be a
common mistake and so is worth singling out.

Cinder Style Commandments
=========================
- Step 1: Read the OpenStack Style Commandments
http://docs.openstack.org/developer/hacking/
- Step 2: Read on
Cinder Specific Commandments
----------------------------
- [N314] Check for vi editor configuration in source files.
- [N319] Validate that debug level logs are not translated
- [N322] Ensure default arguments are not mutable.
- [N323] Add check for explicit import of _() to ensure proper translation.
- [N324] Enforce no use of LOG.audit messages. LOG.info should be used instead.
- [N327] assert_called_once is not a valid Mock method.
General
-------
- Use 'raise' instead of 'raise e' to preserve original traceback or exception being reraised::
except Exception as e:
...
raise e # BAD
except Exception:
...
raise # OKAY
Creating Unit Tests
-------------------
For every new feature, unit tests should be created that both test and
(implicitly) document the usage of said feature. If submitting a patch for a
bug that had no unit test, a new passing unit test should be added. If a
submitted bug fix does have a unit test, be sure to add a new one that fails
without the patch and passes with the patch.
Cinder is transitioning to use mock, rather than mox, and so new tests should
use mock only.
For more information on creating unit tests and utilizing the testing
infrastructure in OpenStack Cinder, please read the Cinder testing
`README.rst <https://github.com/openstack/cinder/blob/master/cinder/testing/README.rst>`_.
