Jay S. Bryant 13208b3a96 [DOC BLD FIX] Fix user messages documentation
A warning was being generated by the user messages documentation
build because it was pointing to a module that no longer existed.

I updated the link so that instead of pointing to
message/resource_types it points to message/message_field .

User Messages
=============
User messages are a way to inform users about the state of asynchronous
operations. One example would be notifying the user of why a volume
provisioning request failed. These messages can be requested via the
/messages API. All user visible messages must be defined in the permitted
messages module in order to prevent sharing sensitive information with users.
Example message generation::
from cinder import context
from cinder.message import api as message_api
from cinder.message import defined_messages
from cinder.message import resource_types
self.message_api = message_api.API()
context = context.RequestContext()
project_id = '6c430ede-9476-4128-8838-8d3929ced223'
volume_id = 'f292cc0c-54a7-4b3b-8174-d2ff82d87008'
self.message_api.create(
context,
defined_messages.EventIds.UNABLE_TO_ALLOCATE,
project_id,
resource_type=resource_types.VOLUME,
resource_uuid=volume_id)
Will produce the following::
GET /v3/6c430ede-9476-4128-8838-8d3929ced223/messages
{
"messages": [
{
"id": "5429fffa-5c76-4d68-a671-37a8e24f37cf",
"event_id": "000002",
"user_message": "No storage could be allocated for this volume request.",
"message_level": "ERROR",
"resource_type": "VOLUME",
"resource_uuid": "f292cc0c-54a7-4b3b-8174-d2ff82d87008",
"created_at": 2015-08-27T09:49:58-05:00,
"guaranteed_until": 2015-09-27T09:49:58-05:00,
"request_id": "req-936666d2-4c8f-4e41-9ac9-237b43f8b848",
}
]
