I tried changing nova_client.api_version to a FloatOpt but that gets 
messy because of how things like 2.60 are handled (str(2.60) gets turned 
into '2.6' which is not what we'd want). I was hoping we could use 
FloatOpt with a min version to enforce the minimum required version, but 
I guess we could do this other ways in the client helper code itself by 
comparing to some minimum required version in the code.
