Stephen Finucane ace4bfb640 compute: Add 'server create --block-device' option
One of the last big gaps with novaclient. As noted in the release note,
the current '--block-device-mapping' format is based on the old BDM v1
format, even though it actually results in BDM v2-style requests to the
server. It's time to replace that.

features:
- |
Add a number of additional options to the ``server create`` command:
- ``--snapshot``
- ``--ephemeral``
- ``--swap``
- ``--block-device``
deprecations:
- |
The ``--block-device-mapping`` option of the ``server create`` command
has been deprecated in favour of ``--block-device``. The format of the
``--block-device-mapping`` option is based on the limited "BDM v1"
format for block device maps introduced way back in the v1 nova API. The
``--block-device`` option instead exposes the richer key-value based
"BDM v2" format.
