Unexpected response in agent-list command with --field param

[Marcos Lobo]

On Neutron Havana (server and client). If you read the documentation about agent-list command you can read this:

# neutron help agent-list
...
  -F FIELD, --field FIELD
                        specify the field(s) to be returned by server, can be
                        repeated
...

I think there is a problem with "--field FIELD" parameter. If you try this command you obtain an unexpected response:

# neutron agent-list --field agent_type
'alive'

I think 'alive' is NOT the expected response for that request. I was expected to obtain something like:

# neutron agent-list --field agent_type
+--------------------+
| agent_type |
+--------------------+
| DHCP agent |
| Open vSwitch agent |
+--------------------+

But, if you try to obtain "alive" field, the response is the expected one.

# neutron agent-list --field alive
+-------+
| alive |
+-------+
| :-) |
| :-) |
+-------+

This problem is not seen in the latest ice-house code. As you mentioned in the bug, it may be applicable only for Havana.
