Xenapi Glance plugin in Nova should switch to using buffered http

Registered by Sridevi Koushik

Glance plugin should switch to using bufferedhttp, like in swift which makes up for missing features in traditional httplib, for eg) buffering http headers and support for 'Expect: 100-continue' etc.
When the Auth token has 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.
