Doug Hellmann 1c7f556d4f rearrange existing documentation to follow the new layout standard
This change moves existing files, updates a few of the cross-references
and paths, and fixes some formatting. It is not meant to be the final
word on how the main page looks or how the other files are organized,
but it gets everything roughly into shape. If the glance team wants to
make changes, please do those as follow-up patches

This change depends on the spec and on a feature of pbr that allows us
to move where the auto-generated class reference documentation ends up
in the tree.

Image Identifiers

Images are uniquely identified by way of a URI that matches the following signature:

<Glance Server Location>/v1/images/<ID>

where <Glance Server Location> is the resource location of the Glance service that knows about an image, and <ID> is the image's identifier. Image identifiers in Glance are uuids, making them globally unique.
