Public bug reported:

When a user attempts to import a keypair into Horizon, and the import
fails, they are faced with a generic error message: "unable to import
keypair".

This does not help the user in identifying what they may have done wrong
(invalid name, invalid, maybe they even mistakenly pasted a private key
in there).

Additionally, this doesn't help the user identify whether they made the
mistake (this would be a Bad Request), or whether there's an issue with
nova that their administrator should be looking at.

Since the import is done through novaclient, we can get use the error
message from Nova when faced with a Bad Request, and fall back to the
generic error message in case we received another error.

Here is a proposed fix: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/67334/
