Bug Description

Horizon displays a confusing error message if a user tries to create a volume that exceeds the quota for volume size:

"Error: Error Creating Volume: The server has either erred or is incapable of performing the requested operation."

The underlying exception is a QuotaError which should be handled explicitly. Full logs:

    Volume Progress Bar & Fixes For Quota

    When a volume creation exceed the allocation quota
    a vague error message was returned that offered the
    user no guidance as to what went wrong. This has
    been fixed.

    Fixes Bug #1012883

    This change also abstracts the Quota javascript to
    allow it to be used anywhere on the site for any
    progress bars that are to be shown in the future.

    Implements blueprint progress-bar-javascript

    On top of this I have renamed all "can_haz" filters
    in the code, as they are really sort of embarassing.

    Lastly, I have added the ability to append JS
    events to the window load when a modal is loaded as
    a static page, OR when it is loaded as an AJAX
    modal.
