Code Issues Proposed changes

Adds clarification note for project_id vs tenant_id 

The client __init__ method takes both a project_id and tenant_id which is
rather confusing as in the Nova API these terms are used interchangeably. The
comment clarifies the difference between a project_id and tenant_id
when using novaclient.

For backwards compatibility reasons we can't really change the names (though for V3
perhaps we should in the future).
