Functional tests do not have tags that define need of backend involvement

[Valeriy Ponomaryov]

We have about 500 functional tests in manila plugin for tempest.
And we can separate them into following categories:

1) testing API not involving backend
2) testing API involving backend
3) testing backend involving API

It may be very useful to be able to run tests only from some category of these.
For example, if I, as driver maintainer, changed only share driver parts and want to run functional tests, I would want to run only those tests that cover possibly affected parts and do not cover definitely not affected ones.

For the moment we do not have possibility to filter these categories out from whole list of tests. It can be solved by addon of special tags, that will be used in test regex.
