I suggest to fix the test to fit both Nova EC2 and ec2api restrictions.
Ec2api ignores ari/aki parameters for RunInstances operation, but supports
registration of an ami image linked to ari and aki ones.
Nova EC2 ignores the links in image registrations, but supports ari/aki
parameters for RunInstances operation.
So we could set these parameters for both operations to pass this test
agains both Nova EC2 and ec2api.

I've propesed a change for this: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/171222/
