openstack limits --absolute show wrong count for security groups

[Sivasathurappan Radhakrishnan]

OpenStack limits --absolute shows wrong count for 'totalSecurityGroupsUsed'. Despite creating multiple security groups still, the count shows as 1.

openstack security group create <name> uses neutron API to create security group
openstack limits show --absolute fetches the information from nova api. Since nova-network has been deprecated and current devstack installation runs with neutron as default, it's better to change the way how how openstack limits show fetches its information

No such current way to retrieve this information from the Neutron API. Discussions on going

As of python-openstackclient 3.13.0, this is still an issue.

From a related bug in nova client:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/python-novaclient/+bug/1731323/comments/4

"The security_group quota and usage in nova is only related to security groups created with nova-network. When using neutron, the quotas and usage are handled by neutron, not nova."

I've pasted Ankur's comment into their ticket.
