----------------------------------------------------------

Commit 6c32efed2cef9b69cbe22fd6d56a672a422e93dc in branch refs/heads/trunk from [~cderamus]
[ https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=libcloud.git;h=6c32efe ]

Issue LIBCLOUD-480: Add additional attributes to the "extra" dictionary of
the VolumeSnapshot object in the EC2 driver.

Also modify create_volume_snapshot method to correctly handle "name" argument.

Previous, "name" argument was used as a snapshot description, now it's used
as a Tag with a key "Name".

> The create_volume_snapshot call does not currently tag the instance if the name keyword argument is passed in. It treats name as the description which in my eyes is misleading. I'd like to add a description keyword argument and use that as the description parameter and if name is set actually tag the newly created resource to remain consistent with other resource creation calls. 
> _to_snapshot will also be updated with new properties (progress/start time) and will get the resource tags. The extra dict will also be built using the recently created _get_extra_dict to make adding additional properties easier in the future.
