Bug Description

The Cinder API allows calling snapshot on attached volumes (this can be forced when calling snapshot-create via the CLI client), but Horizon doesn't give this option in the Volumes pane/view/thingy, it only allows snapshot on unattached volumes.

Ideally this should be allowed and a suitable warning given about possible corrupted snapshots if the volume is being actively written to (filesystem consistency and so on).

Yep, allowing it with a warning sounds like a good option.

    Support warning messages in SelfHandlingForm

    Sometimes we need to show a prominent message at the top of a form to
    warn the user about something. One example is trying to snapshot an
    in-use volume.

    Allowing snapshoting attached volume

    The cinder api allows calling snapshot on attached volumes,
    we should enable it on horizon.
