[openstack-dev] [nova] python-novaclient 2.32.0 not working with rackspace

Looks like we use API_MAX_VERSION and DEFAULT_OS_COMPUTE_API_VERSION with
wrong way. This isn't broken with rackspace only, this broken novaclient
runing with nova legacy v2 api(legacy v2 api's behavior is no version
exposed).

API_MAX_VERSION is the max version of client supported, currently it should
be '2.5'

DEFAULT_OS_COMPUTE_API_VERSION is the default value of CLI option of
'--os-compute-api-version', ti should be '2.latest' which means let CLI to
negotiate with server side choice most recently version.

Not sure whether we need revert, but at least a new fix should come after
that.

Thanks
Alex
