This adds a new option --os-cloud that allows the configuration values
for multiple clouds to be stored in a local file and selected with
a single option.
Internal option names have had 'os_' removed to be comptible with
the options returned from OpenStackConfig().get_one_cloud().
The config file is ~/.config/openstack/clouds.yaml:

OpenStackClient
OpenStackClient (aka OSC) is a command-line client for OpenStack that brings the command set for Compute, Identity, Image, Object Store and Volume APIs together in a single shell with a uniform command structure.
The primary goal is to provide a unified shell command structure and a common language to describe operations in OpenStack.

Getting Started
OpenStack Client can be installed from PyPI using pip:
pip install python-openstackclientThere are a few variants on getting help. A list of global options
and supported commands is shown with --help:
openstack --helpThere is also a help command that can be used to get
help text for a specific command:
openstack help
openstack help server createConfiguration
The CLI is configured via environment variables and command-line options as listed in http://docs.openstack.org/developer/python-openstackclient/authentication.html.
Authentication using username/password is most commonly used:
export OS_AUTH_URL=<url-to-openstack-identity>
export OS_PROJECT_NAME=<project-name>
export OS_USERNAME=<username>
export OS_PASSWORD=<password> # (optional)The corresponding command-line options look very similar:
--os-auth-url <url>
--os-project-name <project-name>
--os-username <username>
[--os-password <password>]If a password is not provided above (in plaintext), you will be interactively prompted to provide one securely.
Authentication may also be performed using an already-acquired token and a URL pointing directly to the service API that presumably was acquired from the Service Catalog:
export OS_TOKEN=<token>
export OS_URL=<url-to-openstack-service>The corresponding command-line options look very similar:
--os-token <token>
--os-url <url-to-openstack-service>
