Cinder

Support clone_image from Glance cinder backend

Registered by Tomoki Sekiyama

This adds an implementation of clone_image which offloads
the image copy when the image is stored in Glance Cinder backend.
It uses "create_clone_volume" method to create a new volume
from an image that is placed on a cinder volume.

In addition, if use_cinder_backend_for_image_upload is set to
True, upload-to-image in raw format will create a cloned volume
and register its location to the image service.

This enables volume data copy offloading (or CoW) from/to Glance images.
Also useful for sharing volume data using Glance ACL feature.
