image metadata is limited by server metadata quota

[Mark Washenberger]

If you look in nova/api/openstack/image_metadata

 44 def _check_quota_limit(self, context, metadata):
 45 if metadata is None:
 46 return
 47 num_metadata = len(metadata)
 48 quota_metadata = quota.allowed_metadata_items(context, num_metadata)
 49 if quota_metadata < num_metadata:
 50 expl = _("Image metadata limit exceeded")
 51 raise exc.HTTPBadRequest(explanation=expl)

The metadata_items quota was created for server metadata and not image metadata. We either need to create a new quota type for image metadata or depend on glance for this metadata limit.

This may not seem like a big deal but the current 1.1 spec plans involve reporting different limits for each type of metadata. Maybe we just need to adjust the plan here?
