Image Import leaves state transition to way too late stage

[Erno Kuvaja]

On the Interoperable Image Import when the image-import call is made, the image status gets set to 'importing'. This happens on quite late state of the task flow and the previous steps may take some time. During this time the user is not informed that the import is actually happening and can either reissue the image-import call or stage call.

    Make the Image status transition early

    When image-import call is made, all kind of things happens before
    the image status transitions to 'importing'. We should do this as early
    as possible to ensure that there is no user action against the image
    while it's prcessed and the user gets the info that the importing is
    actually happening.

    Closes-Bug: #1749525
