Add support for qos_specs feature to 3PAR drivers

Registered by Kurt Martin

We've added a new qos_specs object to Cinder that allows creation and management of qos settings separate from volume-types. Now instead of embedding the qos info in the extra-specs of the volume-type we associate the desired qos-spec to a volume-type.

The capability to check for this and use it needs to be added to the 3PAR drivers. The default method of the reading extra-specs will still work and be a valid mode of setting QoS, however if the association is present it will override any settings in the extra-specs.

Additional 3PAR QOS capabilities will also be added as part of this blueprint, they include:
minIOPS - minimum IOPs per second
minBWS - minimum bandwidth per second
latency - The QOS I/O target latency
priority - the QOS scheduling priority (high, normal, low)
