[Bug 1777153] [NEW] "volume create" should not offer --project or --user options

[Alan Bishop]

Public bug reported:

The "openstack volume create" command currently supports two options
(--project and --user) that are supposed to allow the user to override
the project and/or user associated with the volume. However, Cinder's
volume create API essentially ignores the values [1], and ends up
creating the volume using the user's identity. The --project and --user
options need to be deprecated.

[1] Cinder's API should not be offering input arguments that suggest the
project/user can be overridden. That's because the volume is always
created with the project/user keystone identity info associated with the
API request.

The proper way for the user to specify an alternate project/user is
using the identity overrides, such as --os-username or --os-project-id.
