Glance RegistryClient only connects to 0.0.0.0:9292

[Jay Pipes]

Glance RegistryClient is only instantiated with no arguments, meaning that the glance registry server must be running on 0.0.0.0:9292 for the code in /glance/registry/__init__.py to work, which has hard-coded 0.0.0.0 as it's host param:

Solution:

Create a flag value 'registry_server_host' and 'registry_server_port' and use the flag values
