[openstack-dev] [nova] Heads up for out-of-tree drivers: supports_recreate -> supports_evacuate

We've had inconsistent naming of recreate/evacuate in Nova for a long
time, and it will persist in a couple of places for a while more.
However, I've proposed the following to rename 'recreate' to
'evacuate' everywhere with no rpc/api impact here:

https://review.openstack.org/560900

One of the things which is renamed is the driver 'supports_recreate'
capability, which I've renamed to 'supports_evacuate'. The above
change updates this for in-tree drivers, but as noted in review this
would impact out-of-tree drivers. If this might affect you, please
follow the above in case it merges.
