[cinder] Project ID in cinder endpoints and system scopes

 From the cinder side of the bug, there are two things going on here.

(1) There's an ambiguity in the term "endpoint": it could be (a) the 
base URL where the service can be contacted, or (b) the JSON "url" 
element that shows up in the "endpoints" list of a service object in the 
"catalog" list in the service catalog.  In sense (a), a project_id does 
not occur in the Block Storage API endpoint.

The Block Storage REST API, however, does require a project_id in most 
of the URLs it recognizes.  Thinking of an "endpoint" in sense (a), 
these look like:
   <endpoint><path>
where the <path> parts are defined in the Block Storage API reference:
   https://docs.openstack.org/api-ref/block-storage/

When you look at the API reference, you'll see that for almost all 
calls, the Block Storage API requires a version indicator and project_id 
in the path.  So if you leave these out, the service cannot resolve the 
URL and returns a 404.

(2) Cinder doesn't support recognition of token scope in any released 
versions; we're working on it for Wallaby.  (There's limited support in 
Victoria, but only for the default-types API.)


cheers,
