Given the backend location from Glance, drivers can determine
whether they can clone or otherwise efficiently create a volume
from the image without downloading all the data from Glance.
For now implement cloning for the RBD driver. There's already a
Glance backend that stores images as RBD snapshots, so they're
ready to be cloned into volumes. Fall back to copying all the
data if cloning is not possible.
