Fix wrong description for nova image-create
In the subsection "Create an image (nova)", there is a sentence said "You cannot create a snapshot from an instance that has an attached volume", which must be wrong. Currently, nova supports creating image from an instance with attached volumes. Change-Id: I811a845b8ee028ab83a12af03364930a0394e18d Closes-Bug: #1341348
