John Griffith 8b6f41715c Subclass vendor specific exceptions. 
Up until now drivers have been able to define their
own custom exception classes.  In most cases these are
inherited from either a native python exception class
or at best the base cinder exception class.

The problem with this is that it makes it very difficult
for higher layers (such as volume manager) to do any intelligent
exception handling and the base Cinder.exception class is too broad.

This change takes the first step in cleaning this up.  We create
new exception classes for all drivers to inherit from:
  VolumeDriverException
  VolumeBackendAPIException
  BackupDriverException

This still allows the freedom to create custom exceptions for a
particular driver, however it also gives us a common exception
class to catch and check in higher levels.  Further refinement
and standardization will be helpful going forward but this
should give us a good start.

The Choose Your Own Adventure README for Cinder

You have come across a storage service for an open cloud computing service. It has identified itself as "Cinder." It was abstracted from the Nova project.

To monitor it from a distance: follow @openstack on twitter.

To tame it for use in your own cloud: read http://docs.openstack.org

To study its anatomy: read http://cinder.openstack.org

To dissect it in detail: visit http://github.com/openstack/cinder

To taunt it with its weaknesses: use http://bugs.launchpad.net/cinder

To watch it: http://jenkins.openstack.org

To hack at it: read HACKING.rst
