Bug Description

When you use following cinder subcommands with "--sort <key>" optional argument, there is something wrong in help massages and valid sort-keys you can use.
1.cinder list
2.cinder --os-volume-api-version 3.8 manageable-list
3.cinder --os-volume-api-version 3.8 snapshot-manageable-list
4.cinder --os-volume-api-version 3.5 message-list
5.cinder --os-volume-api-version 3.27 attachment-list
6.cinder backup-list

Such as:
[stack@devstack devstack]$ cinder help snapshot-list
usage: cinder snapshot-list [--all-tenants [<0|1>]] [--name <name>]
                            [--status <status>] [--volume-id <volume-id>]
                            [--marker <marker>] [--limit <limit>]
                            [--sort <key>[:<direction>]] [--tenant [<tenant>]]

Lists all snapshots.

Optional arguments:
  --all-tenants [<0|1>]
                        Shows details for all tenants. Admin only.
  --name <name> Filters results by a name. Default=None.
  --status <status> Filters results by a status. Default=None.
  --volume-id <volume-id>
                        Filters results by a volume ID. Default=None.
  --marker <marker> Begin returning snapshots that appear later in the
                        snapshot list than that represented by this id.
                        Default=None.
  --limit <limit> Maximum number of snapshots to return. Default=None.
  --sort <key>[:<direction>]
                        Comma-separated list of sort keys and directions in
                        the form of <key>[:<asc|desc>]. Valid keys: id,
                        status, size, availability_zone, name, bootable,
                        created_at, reference. Default=None.
  --tenant [<tenant>] Display information from single tenant (Admin only).

But "size, availability_zone, bootable, reference" sort-keys are not supported.

These subcommands' valid sort-keys are different, but now in python-cinderclient, it just simplely use a SORT_KEY_VALUES in all these list subcommands. In my opinion this is not appropriate.

The patch( https://review.openstack.org/#/c/445774/ ) already fix manageable-list and snapshot-manageable-list subcommands problem. But after that patch merged, I thought about it again. I think use a common way to resolve this problem is better.
