For reference, I started this rolling ball:

https://review.openstack.org/#/c/508190/

The internal 'recreate' argument to rebuild was always a thorn in my 
side so I renamed it to evacuate because that's what the operation is 
called in the API, how it shows up in bug reports, and how we talk about 
it in IRC. We don't talk about the "recreate" operation, we talk about 
evacuate.

Completely re-doing the end-user API experience with evacuate and 
rebuild including internal plumbing changes is orthogonal to this 
cleanup IMO because we can do the cleanup now to avoid existing 
maintainer confusion rather than hold it up for something that no one is 
working on.
