Alessandro Pilotti 630a349bc3 Adds get_console_connect_info API
Implements: blueprint hyper-v-rdp-console

Currently graphical console access to Nova instances is limited to
clients which are part of Nova itself (novnc, xvpvnc, spice-html5).
The mentioned clients verify the validity of a console access token
with the following private API:
nova.consoleauth.rpcapi.ConsoleAuthAPI.check_token

The usage of a private API precludes the possibility of employing
external graphical console clients, including FreeRDP-WebConnect, used
to connect to Hyper-V instances via RDP.

This change adds a public API method that wraps the aforementioned
check_token private API. This allows external clients to obtain the
necessary protocol connection information by providing a token
previously obtained with calls to get_vnc_console, get_spice_console
or get_rdp_console.

Includes V2 and V3 API implementations.

OpenStack Nova README

OpenStack Nova provides a cloud computing fabric controller, supporting a wide variety of virtualization technologies, including KVM, Xen, LXC, VMware, and more. In addition to its native API, it includes compatibility with the commonly encountered Amazon EC2 and S3 APIs.

OpenStack Nova is distributed under the terms of the Apache License, Version 2.0. The full terms and conditions of this license are detailed in the LICENSE file.

Nova primarily consists of a set of Python daemons, though it requires and integrates with a number of native system components for databases, messaging and virtualization capabilities.

To keep updated with new developments in the OpenStack project follow @openstack on Twitter.

To learn how to deploy OpenStack Nova, consult the documentation available online at:

http://docs.openstack.org

For information about the different compute (hypervisor) drivers supported by Nova, read this page on the wiki:

https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/HypervisorSupportMatrix

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:

http://bugs.launchpad.net/nova

Developers wishing to work on the OpenStack Nova project should always base their work on the latest Nova code, available from the master GIT repository at:

http://github.com/openstack/nova

Developers should also join the discussion on the mailing list, at:

http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack

Any new code must follow the development guidelines detailed in the HACKING.rst file, and pass all unit tests. Further developer focused documentation is available at:
