Andreas Jaeger 80e9b19448 Fix broken URL to docs.openstack.org
We do not publish anymore to docs.openstack.org/trunk. Only a few
redirects exist.

 http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/admin/content/adding-images.html
redirects to
http://docs.openstack.org/cli-reference/content/chapter_cli-glance-property.html,
so let's use that URL.
