Some image-properties should not be inherited from the instance when taking a snapshot because we want that functionality to only available for the base-image, not subsequent snapshots. As an example, we would like 'cache_in_nova' fast-cloning to be available just for base-images and not customer snapshots created off a base-image. This patch adds a new configuration which allows operators to, at runtime, select which image-properties should not be inherited by newly created snapshots.
