Table filtering using API query attributes

Registered by Justin Pomeroy

The table filtering currently performed on paged tables can be very misleading because it only filters the current page of data. This blueprint would add support for filtering these tables using API query attributes so that the filtering is performed on all the data even if only a single page will be returned.

The available filters and filtering behavior would depend on API support, which is currently inconsistent. For example, nova servers can be filtered by name using a regular expression, but glance images can only be filtered by name using an exact match. So there is room for improvement.

API filtering would be added to the admin images, admin instances, and project instances tables.
