Glance plugin in XenApi should use "Expect: 100-continue" header during upload.

Registered by Sridevi Koushik

During upload, if the Auth token is expired, the xenapi glance plugin in Nova
unnecessarily uploads the chunks and fails at the end.
Instead, we could have a fail fast mechanism using the
100-continue handshake. Only if the client receives a 100 continue
from glance, it should continue uploading the chunks.
Otherwise, if a 401 is received, it should fetch a fresh auth
token and retry the request.
