briancurtin bbd85fded7 Provide a RFC 7231 compliant user agent string 
The current default of "keystoneauth1" doesn't convey enough
information, and additionally when the user of a Session supplies their
own user agent, it stomps on any notion of keystoneauth1 being there.

Per RFC 7231 Section 5.5.3
(https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-5.5.3), user agents should
basically be a space-delimited list of product/version pairs in
decreasing order of importance. This change makes the default user agent
something like the following:

keystoneauth1/2.1.1 python-requests/2.8.1 CPython/3.4.1+

Due to the decreasing order of importance, when a user creates a Session
with something like Session(user_agent="my-product/1.0"),
'my-product/1.0' is then prepended to the above list. The only time this
is not the case is if a user agent is provided directly to
Session.request. In that case, the User-Agent header is set to whatever
the provided argument is, verbatim.

This was a change we had originally made to the Transport class in
python-openstacksdk (I80ca26fff3f2522b8232472676396abb86166f91), but
upon moving to keystoneauth instead of our own implementation, it was
noticed that we lost this, and keystoneauth is a better place for this
than for us to re-implement it inside of python-openstacksdk.

This package contains tools for authenticating to an OpenStack-based cloud. These tools include:

  • Authentication plugins (password, token, and federation based)
  • Discovery mechanisms to determine API version support
  • A session that is used to maintain client settings across requests (based on the requests Python library)
