Lance Bragstad e246732670 Bypass user and group verification in RemoveRole
Keystone let's users remove role assignments that reference non-existent
users and groups. This is nice when keystone backs to an identity store
like LDAP and users or groups are removed.

Previously, openstackclient would validate the user and group existed in
keystone before sending the request to delete the role assignment. This
commit updates the code to bypass that validation so that users can use
IDs to forcibly cleanup role assignments.

OpenStackClient (aka OSC) is a command-line client for OpenStack that brings
the command set for Compute, Identity, Image, Network, Object Store and Block
Storage APIs together in a single shell with a uniform command structure.

The primary goal is to provide a unified shell command structure and a common
language to describe operations in OpenStack.

Getting Started
===============

OpenStack Client can be installed from PyPI using pip::

    pip install python-openstackclient

There are a few variants on getting help.  A list of global options and supported
commands is shown with ``--help``::

   openstack --help

There is also a ``help`` command that can be used to get help text for a specific
command::

    openstack help
    openstack help server create

If you want to make changes to the OpenStackClient for testing and contribution,
make any changes and then run::

    python setup.py develop

or::

    pip install -e .

Configuration
=============

The CLI is configured via environment variables and command-line
options as listed in  https://docs.openstack.org/python-openstackclient/latest/cli/authentication.html.

Authentication using username/password is most commonly used::

   export OS_AUTH_URL=<url-to-openstack-identity>
   export OS_IDENTITY_API_VERSION=3
   export OS_PROJECT_NAME=<project-name>
   export OS_PROJECT_DOMAIN_NAME=<project-domain-name>
   export OS_USERNAME=<username>
   export OS_USER_DOMAIN_NAME=<user-domain-name>
   export OS_PASSWORD=<password>  # (optional)

The corresponding command-line options look very similar::

   --os-auth-url <url>
   --os-identity-api-version 3
   --os-project-name <project-name>
   --os-project-domain-name <project-domain-name>
   --os-username <username>
   --os-user-domain-name <user-domain-name>
   [--os-password <password>]

If a password is not provided above (in plaintext), you will be interactively
prompted to provide one securely.
