Allison Randal 91392d5432 Minor format fixes for Cinder Mitaka specs
Several small RST format fixes, which cause parsing warnings and
errors, and render oddly on specs.openstack.org. Discovered while
working on a spec parsing tool to replace the retired releasestatus
tool.

Support query volume detail with glance metadata
================================================
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/cinder/+spec/support-volume-glance-metadata-query
Provide a function to support query volume detail filter by glance metadata.
Problem description
===================
The purpose of this feature is to make user to query volume detail more
conveniently. User can query a specific bootable volume quickly filtering by
image_name or other glance metadata.
Use Cases
=========
At large scale deployment, there could be many bootable volumes in a tenant.
So if user want query some bootable volume detail filtering by the image name
or other info came from glance metadata, they could use this feature to query
it more conveniently.
No need to list all volumes and find what you want tiring.
Proposed change
===============
* Add DB query filter using volume_glance_metadata in api of sqlaclchemy.
* User can use glance metadata to filter volume detail in cinder api.
The query url is like this::
"volumes/detail?glance_metadata={"image_name":"xxx"}"
