Public bug reported:

$ nova boot --image cirros-0.3.4-x86_64-uec --flavor 1 --block-device
source=blank,dest=volume testvm-blank

The above line would be accepted as a valid boot request, but no blank
volume would be created. The reason is that:

https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/46bba88413c99ddbb8080f68c1a32a64ef908150/nova/compute/api.py#L1210

will not check if the size was provided (like it checks when
source=image volume is requested), and then it will just get completely
disregarded here:

https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/46bba88413c99ddbb8080f68c1a32a64ef908150/nova/compute/api.py#L1204
