Thread-topic: [Openstack] Some updates to REST API specs

With some very minor re-wording the “429 Too Many Requests” response could just as easily apply when the user
has been limited to a specific number of outstanding requests. Essentially the server tells the user that it will queue
at most N requests from the User and that the N+1st will be rejected.

The error response is essentially the same, however. The text just needs to be more flexible in explaining what
“too many” is relative to.
