// createServer creates a new server in a manner compatible with acceptance testing.
// In particular, it ensures that the name of the server always starts with "ACPTTEST--",
// which the delete servers acceptance test relies on to identify servers to delete.
// Passing in empty image and flavor references will force the use of reasonable defaults.
// An empty name string will result in a dynamically created name prefixed with "ACPTTEST--".
// A blank admin password will cause a password to be automatically generated; however,
// at present no means of recovering this password exists, as no acceptance tests yet require
// this data.
