Mathieu Gagné 3dd842de82 Add ability to extend 'in-use' volume
This change adds the ability to extend 'in-use' volume.

Once the volume size is extended, Nova is informed of the size change
through the external-event extension so the virt driver can perform
the appropriate actions for the host and guest to detect the new volume size.

Add ability to extend ``in-use`` volume. User should be aware of the
whole environment before using this feature because it's dependent
on several external factors below:
* nova-compute version - needs to be the latest for Pike.
* only the libvirt compute driver supports this currently.
* only iscsi and fibre channel volume types are supported on the nova side currently.
Administrator can disable this ability by updating the
``volume:extend_attached_volume`` policy rule.
