I was wrong: the alias work !

I.e.:

img_hv_type=xyz

is equivalent to:

hypervisor_type=xyz

The problem is when xyz is 'qemu'. This used to work with Ocata and now (Rocky) is not working anymore in "my" cloud. It works instead if I use kvm.

This is weird since in

https://docs.openstack.org/nova/rocky/admin/configuration/schedulers.html

it is reported that:

<verbatim>
qemu is used for both QEMU and KVM hypervisor types

</verbatim>

Thanks, Massimo

In other words, it smells like a nova bug to me that it's not handling
that renamed image property key.
