    Point to cinder options in nova block alloc docs.
    
    Cinder, since Liberty, has had the option to enable volume cache of
    images. This can help with tuning booting instances from volume.
    This documents a place to start with those Cinder options from
    the block device tuning configuration in Nova.

Title:
  Docs for CONF.block_device_allocate_retries should be updated to note
  cinder image caching

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  CONF.block_device_allocate_retries in nova.compute.manager is used to
  control how long nova waits for a volume it created in cinder to be
  available when booting from volume and source != 'volume'.

  In liberty, cinder landed some features for image cache:

  And efficient transfer of images from glance:

  https://review.openstack.org/#/c/201754/

  The nova option help text should be updated to note that enabling the
  image cache feature in cinder can help with tuning.

  Given the complexity involved in
  https://review.openstack.org/#/c/201754/ it might be best to just note
  at least enabling the image cache feature in cinder
  (https://review.openstack.org/#/c/195795/).

  We'd also have to note that the feature is only available in cinder
  starting in liberty, so liberty/mitaka nova talking to cinder <
  liberty wouldn't work for the image cache feature.
