Title:
  xenapi: volume_utils._parse_volume_info can leak connection password
  via StorageError (CVE-2015-8749)

Bug description:
  This code dumps the connection_info dict into the StorageError
  message:

  https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/12.0.0/nova/virt/xenapi/volume_utils.py#L85-L87

  As can be seen a few lines later, auth_password can be in that dict:

  https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/12.0.0/nova/virt/xenapi/volume_utils.py#L96

  So the password would be leaked into the error message that's raised
  up.  This could eventually get back to the logs or a user if not
  handled properly.
