The "availability_zone" parameter for server create in the API reference and the availabilty zone user docs both say that users should not use the default availability zone (nova) yet our server create API samples use "nova" which is...bad. This change fixes the API samples and related tests to use a fake "us-west" availability zone. For any samples that were requesting an AZ when creating a server, those are changed from requesting "nova" to requesting "us-west" and a new AvailabilityZoneFixture is added to stub out the code used to validate the requested AZ and what is shown in server detail responses. Some unused samples are removed from the os-availability-zone directory and the API reference and AZ user docs are updated for formatting and linking to other docs for reference.

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:
