Identity backends provide get_by_name methods but they aren't available via API

[Rafael Durán Castañeda]

Hi,

Keystone Identity APIs provide get_by_name methods (e.g.: tenant_by_name) however they aren't available via API; thus you can't get information using the human readable identifier. Being able to get information by name would be quite convenient since in most cases only the name is known (e.g.: user credentials).

Since I needed the users 'get_by_name' I'm using a custom extension (https://github.com/bvox/keystone-bvoxextension) and I would like to code at keystone core/contrib something like that but probably something more general and not so specific. What do you think about it?

I would be thankful if someone review this, since nobody reviewed the patches yet.
