Dan Smith 8b4c522f66 Change force_format strategy to catch mismatches
When we moved the qemu-img command in fetch_to_raw() to force the
format to what we expect, we lost the ability to identify and react
to situations where qemu-img detected a file as a format that is not
supported by us (i.e. identfied and safety-checked by
format_inspector). In the case of some of the other VMDK variants
that we don't support, we need to be sure to catch any case where
qemu-img thinks it's something other than raw when we think it is,
which will be the case for those formats we don't support.

Note this also moves us from explicitly using the format_inspector
that we're told by glance is appropriate, to using our own detection.
We assert that we agree with glance and as above, qemu agrees with
us. This helps us avoid cases where the uploader lies about the
image format, causing us to not run the appropriate safety check.
AMI formats are a liability here since we have a very hard time
asserting what they are and what they will be detected as later in
the pipeline, so there is still special-casing for those.

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:

Developers
