Support import/export snapshots in cinder
Currently cinder support import/export volume function.
Import/export snapshots function could be an complement for the function of import/export volume.
Functions:
1.It could provide the ability to import volumes' snapshot from one cinder to another cinder,
and import "non" openstack snapshots already on a backend-device into Openstack/cinder.
2. Additionally, export snapshots works the same way as export volumes.
Benifits:
When import volumes that have snapshots, we need to import snapshots.
1. First we could use the import snapshots as volume templates to create volumes.
2. Import snapshots function could provide an effect mean to manage the import volumes.
For example, we could not delete the import volume that has snapshots.
By using import snapshots function to import snapshots, we could first delete the import snapshots,
and then delete the import volumes.

Implement function of import/export snapshots
<jdg> It appears this is implemented, however may need client additions.
For the record, I still think this is a bad idea and should not have been added. At some point just because you "can" do something, doesn't mean you should. There is no valid reason why this extra maintenance and complication is needed or useful.
<wanghao>Thanks John, client will be added in M. IMO, manage/
