Title:
  Exceptions that get returned via REST api should have more user
  friendly messages

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Exceptions in nova/exception.py that get returned via REST api should
  have more user friendly (non-admin and non-dev) messages.

  
  For example 

   class InstanceRecreateNotSupported(Invalid):
       msg_fmt = _('Instance recreate is not implemented by this virt driver.')

  
  Assuming that exception gets returned via the REST API, a user shouldn't have to know what a 'virt driver' is, that is a backend concept that we should be hiding.

  Instead this exception should say something like 'Instance recreate is
  not supported'
