Cinder

Add ability for Cinder backend to report discard/unmap/trim

Registered by Danny Wilson

Add the ability for Cinder backends to report support for discard capability. If a backend driver supports discard it can add a "discard": True entry in the connection properties returned from initialize_connection. This will be used by Nova to ensure any attached volumes have support for this functionality. A separate Nova patch is in the works as well.
