Bug Description
Right now, nova-volumes does not allow volumes to be deleted that have snapshots attached. Some backends may support this so it should be configurable by the administrator whether to allow volumes with snapshots to be deleted.

Can't this be handled implicitly by the driver for those back-ends that support it? For example the base LVM driver currently will raise VolumeIsBusy if a snapshot exists. Other drivers could simply choose to check/not-check depending on what they support?
If there's some other reason that admins may want to have this behavior configurable (independent of backend device's support) then we can add the flag.
