When the end-user request a capability which doesn't support by the cloud,
the end-user needs to wait for a moment after sent boot request due to we
use async call in nova, then he get an instance with error status. The
error info is no valid host. If this is the only way for user to discover
the capabilities in the cloud, that sounds bad. So we need an API for the
end-user to discover the Capabilities which are supported in the cloud, the
end-user can query this API before send boot request.
