    New syntax to boot from a block device mapping

    Add new arguments and syntax for booting from a block device mapping
    that use the new os-block-device-mapping-v2-boot extension. These
    allow to:

     * boot from an image, volume or snapshot (--image, --boot-volume, --snapshot)
     * attach any type of block device (--block-device).
     * attach an swap disk on boot (--swap).
     * attach an ephemeral disk on boot (--ephemeral).

    blueprint: improve-block-device-handling

To fix this, find where the CLI options for python-novaclient are in the openstack-manuals repo. Update them with these new variables.

Also, find a section which talks about booting instances and ensure its updated with a discussion of these options
