Title:
  [SRU] missing (anti) affinity support

Status in python-novaclient package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  OpenStack Icehouse deprecates GroupAffinityFilter in favor of
  ServerGroupAffinityFilter[0], but python-novaclient 2.17 doesn't
  support server-group creation[1] and policy definition during instance
  creation, this a bug in terms that the client isn't complete.

  [Test Case]

  * Deploy an icehouse cloud with ServerGroupAffinityFilter enabled (the default if using juju charms)
  * Create a server group
     $ nova server-group-create --policy affinity group-1
  * Boot two instances using the previously created group
    $ nova boot --image IMAGE_ID --flavor 1 --hint group=SERVER_GROUP_UUID vm01
    $ nova boot --image IMAGE_ID --flavor 1 --hint group=SERVER_GROUP_UUID vm02
  * Both instances must be running in the same compute node, this can be verified running, as admin: $ nova show INSTANCE_UUID

  [Regression Potential]

  None expected, this change adds a new command line parameter and a
  test for it.

  [Other Info]

  * This problem only affects Trusty, because Utopic ships python-novaclient 2.19 which comes with support for server groups creation.
  * Patch that adds 'server-group-create' operation

  * Patch that adds --policy to nova boot
