whoami-rajat e2c3bcc6e3 Remove multiatttach request parameter
The initial cinder design[1][2][3] allowed users to create mutliattach
volumes by spcifying the ``multiattach`` parameter in the request
body of volume create operation (``--allow-multiattach`` option in
cinderclient).

This functionality changed in Queens with the introduction of
microversion 3.50[4] where we used volume types to store
the multiattach capabilities. Any volume created with a multiattach
volume type will be a multiattach volume[5].

While implementing the new functionality, we had to keep backward
compatibility with the *old way* of creating multiattach volumes.
We deprecated the ``multiattach`` (``--allow-multiattach`` on cinderclient
side) parameter in the queens release[6][7].
We also removed the support of the ``--allow-multiattach`` optional
parameter from cinderclient in the train release[8] but the API
side never removed the compatibility code to disallow functionality
of creating multiattach volumes by using the ``multiattach``
parameter (instead of a multiattach volume type).

This patch removes the support of providing the ``multiattach``
parameter in the request body of a volume create operation and will
fail with a BadRequest exception stating the reason of failure
and how it can be fixed.
