Create a OS::Nova::Server resource

Registered by Steve Baker

Create a OS::Nova::Server resource

This resource should share the same code as AWS::EC2::Instance but its properties schema should be derived from the Nova REST instance creation API call.

According to the python-novaclient create call, the following properties are elible for being in the resource properties schema (with equivalent AWS properties in parethesis)
name
imageRef (ImageId)
flavorRef (InstanceType)
user_data (UserData)
metadata (Tags)
reservation_id
key_name (KeyName)
os:scheduler_hints (NovaSchedulerHints could then be removed from AWS::EC2::Instance)
config_drive
adminPass
security_groups (SecurityGroups)
personality
availability_zone (AvailabilityZone)
block_device_mapping
networks (NetworkInterfaces)

FnGetAtt should expose any information that a look-up on the instance provides.
