Stephen Finucane 72cf37bca0 utils: Move 'get_bdm_image_metadata' to nova.block_device
The 'nova.block_device' module is essentially a catchall utils-like
module for all things BDM. The 'get_bdm_image_metadata' module, and
closely related 'get_image_metadata_from_volume' both fall into the
category of functions that belong here so move them. This allows us to
clean up tests and, crucially, avoid a circular reference seen when we
want to use proper type hints in the 'nova.virt.driver' module.

  nova.context imports...
  nova.utils, which imports...
  nova.block_device, which imports...
  nova.virt.driver, which tries to import...
  nova.context, causing a circular dependency

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:

Developers

For information on how to contribute to Nova, please see the contents of the CONTRIBUTING.rst.

Any new code must follow the development guidelines detailed in the HACKING.rst file, and pass all unit tests.
