Vishvananda Ishaya 7e2b93acc5 removes the nova-volume code from nova
This removes the majority of the nova-volume code from the codebase.
It updates relevent config options to default to cinder. It updates a
number of existing tests that were depending on code that was removed.

A few things still need to be removed:

 * volume/driver.py & volume/iscsi.py
   These files are used by the libvirt volume driver tests. These
   tests should be updated to mock the relevant calls.

 * scheduler/simple.py & scheduler/multi.py
   These files should no longer be necessary so they can be removed
   in a subsequent patch

 * exception.py cleanup
   Once the above files are removed there are a number of unused
   exceptions which can be removed

 * database calls and database tables
   The database calls have not been removed and the tables have not
   been dropped. This can be done in a separate migration

 * additional config options and nova.conf.sample
   There may be a few extra config options that can be removed and the
   conf sample can be regenerated

Implements bp delete-nova-volume

SYNOPSIS

nova-rootwrap [options]

DESCRIPTION

Filters which commands nova is allowed to run as another user.

To use this, you should set the following in nova.conf: rootwrap_config=/etc/nova/rootwrap.conf

You also need to let the nova user run nova-rootwrap as root in sudoers: nova ALL = (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/nova-rootwrap /etc/nova/rootwrap.conf *

To make allowed commands node-specific, your packaging should only install {compute,network}.filters respectively on compute and network nodes (i.e. nova-api nodes should not have any of those files installed).
