Reset the instance keypair while rebuilding
Description
========
If the user lost the original private key, and without a password, the VM will not be able to login.
Because nova now has no way to reset the instance keypair, even during the rebuild procedure.
So at least `nova rebulid` will be a good approach to reset the instance key pair.
And in the foreseeable future, maybe the dynamic changing will be possible.
APIImpact
=======
Will add a key_name param to rebuild API request body.
Test
====
Both functional and unit test are needed.
