Title:
  run_instance message in ~17K in size due to duplicated  information

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Expired

Bug description:
  The RPC call for run_instance includes in its parameters instance,
  filter_properties, and request_spec.  However filter_properties itself
  includes request_spec, and request_spec included a copy of the
  instance record as 'instance_properties'

  Therefore each run_instance massage in effect includes 3 copies of the
  instance data and 2 copies of the request_spec

  Total size for a single request in DevStack is ~15k, of which at least
  60% is replicated data.

  Whilst a very small amount of data is examined in the compute manager
  from filter_properties and request_spec:

  filter-properties:   'limits'   & 'retry'
  request-spec:  -security_group' 

  the main reason for having these structures seems to be so that they
  can be passed back to the scheduler when a retry is required.

  It feels that some simple work in here should be able to reduce the
  message size significantly.

  A formatted print of a typical message captured in DevStack is
  attached.
