Xiao Chen 2f0863b7d4 Fix 'search_opts' unexpected keyword argument error
When executing 'encryption-type-create' command using resource
name, it will use the findall() in base.py, then error will
occur because list() in findall() used 'search_opts' argument
which list() in VolumeEncryptionTypeManager did not have. Some
other command like 'transfer-delete' met same issue.

This patch will add 'search_opts' argument in list() function
in child class to avoid the bug.

Python API

In order to use the python api directly, you must first obtain an auth token and identify which endpoint you wish to speak to. Once you have done so, you can use the API like so:

>>> from cinderclient import client
>>> cinder = client.Client('1', $OS_USER_NAME, $OS_PASSWORD, $OS_TENANT_NAME, $OS_AUTH_URL)
>>> cinder.volumes.list()
[]
>>> myvol = cinder.volumes.create(display_name="test-vol", size=1)
>>> myvol.id
ce06d0a8-5c1b-4e2c-81d2-39eca6bbfb70
>>> cinder.volumes.list()
[<Volume: ce06d0a8-5c1b-4e2c-81d2-39eca6bbfb70>]
>>>myvol.delete

Command-line Tool

In order to use the CLI, you must provide your OpenStack username, password, tenant, and auth endpoint. Use the corresponding configuration options (--os-username, --os-password, --os-tenant-id, and --os-auth-url) or set them in environment variables:

export OS_USERNAME=user
export OS_PASSWORD=pass
export OS_TENANT_ID=b363706f891f48019483f8bd6503c54b
export OS_AUTH_URL=http://auth.example.com:5000/v2.0

Once you've configured your authentication parameters, you can run cinder help to see a complete listing of available commands.
