Matt Riedemann 2e1d31a44a api-ref: add multiattach considerations to retype docs
This adds some notes about two things to consider with a volume
retype operation on an in-use multiattach volume:

1. The volume API will reject a retype operation on an in-use volume
   where the volume's multiattach value would change.

2. Retyping an in-use volume that has more than one active read/write
   attachment is not recommended because on the nova side the swap
   volume operation performs a blockRebase which could potentially
   lead to data corruption.

In the future, we (nova or cinder or both) will likely need to make
some changes as to what the default attach_mode is for secondary
attachments to a multiattach volume, since today we default to read/write
if it's not specified by the caller when making the attachment.
