[Bug 1583253] [NEW] Rename Raw backend to Flat

 

Public bug reported:

https://review.openstack.org/279626
Dear bug triager. This bug was created since a commit was marked with DOCIMPACT.
Your project "openstack/nova" is set up so that we directly report the documentation bugs against it. If this needs changing, the docimpact-group option needs to be added for the project. You can ask the OpenStack infra team (#openstack-infra on freenode) for help if you need to.

    Rename Raw backend to Flat
    
    As mentioned in a comment (which this patch deletes), calling this
    class 'Raw' was confusing, because it is not always raw. It is also a
    source of bugs, because some code assumes that the format is always
    raw, which it is not. This patch does not fix those bugs.
    
    We rename it to 'Flat', which describes it accurately. We also add
    doctext describing what it does.
    
    DocImpact
    
    The config option libvirt.images_type gets an additional value:
    'flat'. The effect of this is identical to setting the value 'raw'.
