There is some adhoc info about a handful of the image metadata properties
in glance documentation IIRC, but nothing comprehensive documented in
Nova. A year ago I created a wiki page listing all the props I could
find in the source at that time but this is out of date now

  https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/VirtDriverImageProperties

I'm also working on creating an object to represent image metadata
properties, so we'll have strict definition of them all in the code
