User-supplied scheduler hints can include internal keys like "_nova_check_type" which cause the scheduler to bypass Placement candidate selection, request pre-filters, and resource claims. This can lead to instances being created without proper resource accounting. Rather than rejecting the request, silently strip any _nova-prefixed hints before they reach the scheduler. This is consistent with the existing hints behavior of ignoring unknown ones and ensures the probe attempt still costs the attacker money.
