The store names used in glance and glance_store are not in sync with
each other.
This can confuse operators who have to use different names to refer to
the same store while setting values for configuration options such as
``store_type_preference`` in glance and configuration option like
``store`` in glance_store. This inconsistency may also confuse
developers during code changes, complicating future code changes with
respect to this.
Mapping store names: ``vmware_datastore`` and ``filesystem``
to ``vmware`` and ``file`` respectively to be in sync with glance_store
entry point names and at the same time accommodate backward
compatibility for old configuration files that might still be using
``filesystem`` and ``vmware_datastore``.
Note: This change applies only when multiple image locations are being
used and ``location_strategy`` configuration option is set to
``store_type``.
Note: Including glance-api.conf with this patch with the updated
configuration option help text.
