Dan Smith d8a6309893 Add administrator docs for distributed-import
This adds some text to the documentation about configuring the import
mechanism, including details about shared vs. local staging
directories. It also clarifies that *all* import methods require the
staging directory to be configured, as well as cleans up some
single-store-specific wording in this area.

Glance now supports the ``glance-direct`` import method without
needing shared storage common to all API workers. By telling each
API worker the URL by which it can be reached directly (from the
other workers), a shared staging directory can be avoided while
still allowing users to upload their data for import. See the
``worker_self_reference_url`` config option for more details, as
well as the `Interoperable Image Import

docs.
