There are some issues in "--block-device-mapping" options of "server create" commands.
1. ValueError is raised if input don't contain "=". Sometimes the whole "server create" command is very complex, it's difficult to find out root reason directly, like this:
(openstack) server create --image cirros-0.3.5-x86_64-disk --flavor m1.tiny --nic net-id=d73b6234-91ff-466e-8b5d-141aa9b48ac8 --block-device-mapping vdb0ac9844f-2122-47a4-9a1b-676c59cdd662 chenrui_vm
need more than 1 value to unpack
(openstack)
2. If input "vdb=", not add any mapping information, the server will be launched successfully, not raise error message to let use add volume/snapshot id, just ignore "--block-device-mapping" option

3. The help message of "block- device- mapping" option is so simple, need to add some details about how to add <type>, <delete_ on_terminate> contains.
--block- device- mapping <dev-name=mapping>
Map block devices; map is
<id> :<type> :<size( GB)>:<delete_ on_terminate> (optional
extension)
