[openstack-dev] [nova] Non-Admin user can show deleted instances using changes-since parameter when calling list API

Yes, so you are suggest fixing the return data of non-admin user use 'nova
list --deleted' but leave non-admin using 'nova list --status=deleted' as
is. Or it would be better to also submit a BP for next cycle to add support
for non-admin using '--status=deleted' with microversions. Because in my
opinion, if we allow non-admin use "nova list --deleted", there will be no
reason for us to limit the use of "--status=deleted".
