Matt Riedemann 9b3c4736a3 Allow None for block_device_mapping_v2.boot_index
The legacy v2 API allowed None for the boot_index [1]. It
allowed this implicitly because the API code would convert
the block_device_mapping_v2 dict from the request into a
BlockDeviceMapping object, which has a boot_index field that
is nullable (allows None).

The API reference documentation [2] also says:

"To disable a device from booting, set the boot index
to a negative value or use the default boot index value,
which is None."

It appears that with the move to v2.1 and request schema
validation, the boot_index schema was erroneously set to
not allow None for a value, which is not backward compatible
with the v2 API behavior.

This change fixes the schema to allow boot_index=None again
and adds a test to show it working.

This should not require a microversion bump since it's fixing
a regression in the v2.1 API which worked in the v2 API and
is already handled throughout Nova's block device code.
