Support sendfile(2) to remove userspace copying of image file data

As recommended by Reynolds Chin, we should add support for using the sendfile(2) system call to bypass userspace copying of an image file during uploads. The pysendfile library (http://code.google.com/p/pysendfile/) can be used for this purpose.

Add support for sendfile(2) without changing the existing iterator logic in the Glance client
