Title:
  create/delete flavor permissions should be controlled by policy.json

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Confirmed
Status in OpenStack Security Advisories:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The create/delete flavor rest api always expects the user to be of
  admin privileges and ignores the rule defined in the nova/policy.json.
  This behavior is observed after these changes >>
  https://review.openstack.org/#/c/150352/.

  The expected behavior is that the permissions are controlled as per
  the rule defined in the policy file and should not mandate that only
  an admin should be able to create/delete a flavor
