View encryption metadata for encrypted volumes
Summary
=======
This proposed feature is to add the capability to see the encryption metadata for volumes that are encrypted, including cipher, key size, provider, name, and control location.
Motivation
========
As of Horizon patch [1], it is now possible to see whether a volume is encrypted or not in Horizon. However, it is not possible to see the encryption metadata for the volume, only that it is encrypted or not encrypted.
Description
=========
The user will be able to click on the "Yes" in the Encrypted column, and be taken to a page where the encryption metadata is visible.
UX
===
Instead of only seeing whether a volume is encrypted or not encrypted, the user will now be able to see the encryption metadata associated with the volume.

Testing
======
Create a Volume Type as an admin. Create Encryption for that volume type, defining the cipher, key size, provider, and control location. Create a volume with that encrypted volume type. Click on the value in the "Encrypted" column of the volume. Confirm that the encryption metadata defined as a part of the volume type is now displayed for that volume. Create a volume with a volume type that is not encrypted, and confirm that no encryption metadata is displayed when the value of the Encrypted column is clicked.
Outside Dependencies
==================
Retrieving the encryption metadata about a specific volume is supported by cinder as a part of an API extension [2]. This extension is also supported in python-cinderclient [3].
