Title:
  Nova API doc for listing servers is missing metadata filter

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  In Progress

Bug description:
  I am using Nova v2.1 (Liberty). The documentation for listing servers
  only covers a portion of the supported filter options. I don't know
  what they all should be but I've found that 'metadata' is one of them.
  :-)

  List Servers Doc: http://developer.openstack.org/api-ref-
  compute-v2.1.html#listServers

  Here is the filter method for listing servers where you can see the supported filters:
  https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/098d4ad487f8431b82d776629f15d13142d42789/nova/compute/api.py#L2027

  The query below searches for servers with the metadata "foo=bar", and
  is URL encoded:

  curl -X "GET"
  "http://api.openstacknetsdk.org:8774/v2.1/cae3d055dc5e4828adc4fdfe341168f7/servers/detail?metadata=%7B%22foo%22:%22bar%22%7D";

  Without the encoding the query looks like this:

  servers/detail?metadata={"foo":"bar"}

  I haven't tried any other filters found in that method but they may be
  ip (fixed_ip) and system_metadata.
