Public bug reported:

- [x] This doc is inaccurate in this way:

https://developer.openstack.org/api-ref/compute/#servers-actions-
servers-os-instance-actions

The user_id and project_id parameter descriptions for server actions
imply that they are the value of the user/project that owns the server,
but that is incorrect - they are the project/user id of whoever made the
request / initiated the action:

https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/5c6c1f8fce7cd976dedc0a1ad28836ed87af2780/nova/objects/instance_action.py#L56-L57

For example, the server could be owned by project Foo and user A but an
admin live migrates the server and the admin's project is Bar and the
user is B, so the server actions should reflect project B and user B.
