The "GlusterFS driver in OpenStack Configuration Reference - havana" page contains inaccurate information about Gluster snapshot support

[Don Domingo]

Specifically:

This page mentions "This driver enables use of GlusterFS in a similar fashion as the NFS driver. It supports basic volume operations, and like NFS, does not support snapshot/clone."

Havana's GlusterFS Cinder driver does support snapshots and clone. The primary restriction here is that they don't yet work with libgfapi, although this may yet be addressed in Icehouse.

Will need to update the page once libgfapi support is confirm, although at the very least we should edit out the "does not support snapshot/clone" part first.

    Corrected GlusterFS driver info on snapshots

    The current docs state that the GlusterFS driver does not support
    snapshots and clone. This is no longer true.

    This patch updates the documentation accordingly.
