Images now support multiple locations within its metadata and it may be
stored on more than one backend storage. Nova should add a layer to
transparently handle image preparing and removing for an instance by the
best approach/location, and it should allow administrators to configure
the image handler pipeline with the order who preferred to the layer.
Also, based on this structure we could implement particular sub-class in
relevant hypervisor layer with more advanced functions, such as CoW
making, snapshot capturing and etc. in future.
Implement bp: image-multiple-location
