Bug Description

Versions:
glance --version
2.0.0

glance-api --version
12.0.0

Example configuration shipped and Online docs refer to the storage name `vsphere` for vSphere/ESXi datastores but the code expects `vmware`.

Once replacing `vsphere` with `vmware` glance starts as expected. Otherwise you get: 2016-05-09 13:36:18.139 30525 WARNING glance_store.backend [-] Failed to load driver [<module 'stevedore.driver' from '/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/stevedore/driver.pyc'>, NoMatches("No 'glance_store.drivers' driver found, looking for 'vsphere'",)]. The driver will be disabled

Another confusing thing is the usage of `vmware` in the `stores` directive but then you are required to use `vsphere` in the `default_store` directive. Very misleading.

I've asked about links to the docs where vmware storage driver is mentioned:

<f0o> well there is http://docs.openstack.org/mitaka/config-reference/image-service/image_service_backends.html#configure-vcenter-data-stores-for-the-image-service-back-end - but as far as I can tell, that one is correct. Default_store being vsphere and no word about stores though

<f0o> http://docs.openstack.org/mitaka/config-reference/image-service/image_service_api.html << lists `vsphere` under `stores` which is apparently wrong
