Bug Description

If nova-api service (or othre nova service with keystone-auth turned on) starts with account with invalid HOME directory crashes on startup. (I used nobody account.)

In [filter:authtoken] section in etc/nova/api-paste.ini, signing_dirname is defined to /tmp/keystone-signing-nova.
But keystone.middlware.auth_token reads singning_dir (not signing_dirname).

So keystone middlware uses /SOME_INVALID_HOMEDIR/keystone_signing as signing directory. (and it cannot start, because cannot create /SOME_INVALID_HOMEDIR/keystone_signing)

    Fix signing_dir option for auth_token middleware.

    The keystone auth_token middleware expects an option named
    'signing_dir'. The sample api-paste.ini file for nova defined
    'signing_dirname' instead.

    Fix bug 1073858.
