Add a note on why quota classes are unused in Nova
Quota classes can only be used if you write a custom middleware which
sets the quota_class context attribute. Nothing in OpenStack core does
this.
The only known middleware which does this is the rs_limits turnstile
preprocessor: https://github.com/klmitch/rs_limits
Add a note to the code to give others some chance of figuring this out
for themselves.
