    Detach volumes when VM creation fails

    If the boot-volume creation fails, the data volume is left in state
    "in-use", attached to the server which is now in "error" state.
    The user can't detach the volume because of the server's error state.

    They can delete the server, which then leaves the volume apparently
    attached to a server that no longer exists, which is being fixed
    separately: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/340614/

    The only way out of this is to ask an administrator to reset the state of
    the data volume (this option is not available to regular users by
    default policy).

    This change fixes the problem in the compute service such that
    when the creation fails, compute manager detaches the created volumes
    before putting the VM into error state. Then you can delete the instance
    without care about attached volumes.
