nova command is wrong - Launch an instance from an image in OpenStack End User Guide - havana

[ZhiQiang Fan]

nova boot --flavor FLAVOR_ID --image IMAGE_ID --key_name KEY_NAME \
  --user-data mydata.file --security_group SEC_GROUP NAME_FOR_INSTANCE \
  --meta KEY=VALUE --meta
                    KEY=VALUE \
                    SERVER_NAME

the command is formatted ugly, and more important, the NAME_FOR_INSTANCE and SERVER_NAME are duplicate which will trigger cli error.

so does

nova boot --image ubuntu-cloudimage --flavor 1 \
  --file /root/.ssh/authorized_keys=special_authorized_keysfile

which is missing server name...

I found this when I investigate nova boot from volume command

    Fix incorrect nova boot command

    nova boot need a positional parameter for server name, but the example
    for user guide section of nova boot is wrong, we should fix it.

    Note that I also correct the output according to the parameter.
