The class inheritance between the OpenStack and Rackspace drivers is inverted.

Key: LIBCLOUD-110
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LIBCLOUD-110
Project: Libcloud
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Compute
Reporter: Mike Nerone
In the current state of the computer drivers, the exists an inverted
inheritance in that OpenStack inherits from Rackspace, where Rackspace (and
potentially other specific OpenStack providers) should rather inherit from
OpenStack. This inversion complicated several things:
* Support for multiple OpenStack providers.
* Support for multiiple OpenStack API versions in general.
* Separately, future migration of the Rackspace driver to a new OpenStack
version (e.g. migrating Rackspace to OpenStack 1.1 would migrate all OpenStack
subclasses to 1.1).
