Bug Description

When using image-download with Python3 and outputting to stdout, I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/glanceclient/shell.py", line 605, in main
    args.func(client, args)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/glanceclient/v2/shell.py", line 281, in do_image_download
    utils.save_image(body, args.file)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/glanceclient/common/utils.py", line 307, in save_image
    image.write(chunk)
TypeError: write() argument must be str, not bytes

This this due to Python 3 requiring a string when printing directly to stdout, whereas Python 2 allowed either string or bytes.

A good description of the issue is documented here:
http://bugs.python.org/issue18512

I think the easiest fix for this is to test for sys.stdout.buffer which should be used for Python 3, then fall back to sys.stdout if it's not available.

I've put up a review to fix this:
