Bug Description

Document new Compute feature to support using LVM block devices for local storage for QEMU-based hypervisors.

Blueprint: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/lvm-disk-images

Commit that introduced the feature: https://github.com/openstack/nova/commit/e0540dfed1c1276106105aea8d5765356961ef3d

New flags:
 * libvirt_images_type
 * libvirt_images_volume_group
 * libvirt_sparse_logical_volumes

This should be documented in the Compute Admin guide.

We should also document whether it's possible to do snapshots with this image format, since there was a question about this on the mailing list.
