User-defined sample metadata for Nova

Users are allowed to add additional metadata to samples of nova meter.

Note: The name of the metadata shouldn't exceed 256 characters otherwise it will be cut off.
Also, if it has '.', this will be replaced by a '_' in ceilometer.
User-defined sample metadata for Swift
==========================================
It's possible to add additional metadata to sample of Swift meter as well.
You might specify headers whose values will be stored in resource_metadata as
'resource_metadata.http_header_$name', where $name is a name of the header with
'-' replaced by '_'.
This is done using 'metadata_headers' option in middleware configuration,
refer to :ref:`installing_manually` for details.
For example, this could be used to distinguish external and internal users. You'd
have to implement a custom Swift middleware that sets a proper header and just add
it to metadata_headers.
