Subject: [PATCH] Enhance descriptions for get and clear password
per http://paste.openstack.org/show/495955/
it shows nova get-password and clear-password is calling
'os-server-password' and in turn operate on metadata server
instead of the operating systme itself, the existing wording
lead to confusion in nova client description.
