Title:
  [SRU] not able to upload binary files when booting a vm

Status in Python client library for Nova:
  Fix Released
Status in python-novaclient package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * Not able to upload binary files to vm while booting.

  [Test Case]

   * make/find a binary file with size smaller than the upload limit,
  e.g. 10k

   * create a vm and upload the binary file at the same time - nova boot
  --flavor 2 --image cloudimg-amd64 --file /root/ping=/bin/ping test

  [Regression Potential]

   * None

  Not able to upload binary files to vm while booting, e.g. nova boot
  --flavor 2 --image cloudimg-amd64 --file /root/ping=/bin/ping test

  Commit 8b264fc61d21fe4d0c7405914fb084f898956888 changed encoding
  schema of file contents from base64 to utf-8 for python3
  compatibility. But that caused an issue when uploading binary files
  which cannot be utf-8 encoded.
