Mechanism to transport image data across regions

Registered by Nikhil Komawar

Proposal is to make image data travel directly from source backend store to target backend store.

- Swift-to-swift as a first implementation and giving a Exception "operation not supported" for other stores
- Need better error states to be propagated back to the caller for this async operation

<jbresnah> Could tie into the image transfer service? </jbresnah>

This might need some cleanup after clone-image-across-regions is cleaned up a bit.
And some more information.
If its a push model, how do you get the underlying store credentials for the remote glance?
If its a pull model, how do you get the location for the remote glance?
