    Enable use of service user token with admin context

    When the [service_user] section is configured in nova.conf, nova will
    have the ability to send a service user token alongside the user's
    token. The service user token is sent when nova calls other services'
    REST APIs to authenticate as a service, and service calls can sometimes
    have elevated privileges.

    Currently, nova does not however have the ability to send a service user
    token with an admin context. This means that when nova makes REST API
    calls to other services with an anonymous admin RequestContext (such as
    in nova-manage or periodic tasks), it will not be authenticated as a
    service.

    This adds a keyword argument to service_auth.get_auth_plugin() to
    enable callers to provide a user_auth object instead of attempting to
    extract the user_auth from the RequestContext.

    The cinder and neutron client modules are also adjusted to make use of
    the new user_auth keyword argument so that nova calls made with
    anonymous admin request contexts can authenticate as a service when
    configured.
