Brian Waldon ceab6b3ed4 Convert image id value to a uuid
This just changes the value of image.id, leaving the key name alone. We also
enforce image ids provided on an image create be a uuid. Implements
blueprint uuid-image-identifiers

Image Identifiers
=================
Images are uniquely identified by way of a URI that
matches the following signature::
<Glance Server Location>/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*.
