Karbor support in python-openstackclient

Implement a new set of karbor commands as python-openstackclient plugins.

Launchpad Blueprint: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/python-karborclient/+spec/karbor-support-python-openstackclient

Problem Description

python-openstackclient is becoming the default command line client for many OpenStack projects. Karbor would benefit from implementing all of its client commands as a single python-openstackclient plugin implemented in the python-karborclient repository.

Proposed Change

The intent of this spec is to identify the commands to be implemented and establish conventions for command and argument names. This spec is not intended to be a full and correct specification of command and argument names. The details can be left to the code reviews for the commands themselves.

The following conventions will be adopted for command names:

• As the OpenStackClient convention, the command name shall always take the following form:

openstack [<global-options>] <object-1> <action> [<object-2>] \
          [command-arguments]

As a example: The following karbor commands about plan will be implemented for openstack initially suggesting these command names:

karbor plan-create <name> <provider_id> <resources>
openstack dataprotection plan create <name> <provider_id> <resources>

karbor plan-delete <plan>
openstack dataprotection plan delete <plan>

karbor plan-list
openstack dataprotection plan list

karbor plan-show <plan>
openstack dataprotection backup plan <backup>

karbor plan-update <name> <resources> <status>
openstack dataprotection plan update <name> <resources> <status>
