convert images that are not 'raw' to 'raw' during caching to node

This uses 'qemu-img' to convert images that are not 'raw' to be 'raw'.
By doing so, it
 a.) refuses to run uploaded images that have a backing image reference
     (LP: #853330, CVE-2011-3147)
 b.) ensures that when FLAGS.use_cow_images is False, and the libvirt
     xml written specifies 'driver_type="raw"' that the disk referenced
     is also raw format. (LP: #837102)
 c.) removes compression that might be present to avoid cpu bottlenecks
     (LP: #837100)

It does have the negative side affect of using more space in the case where
the user uploaded a qcow2 (or other advanced image format) that could have
been used directly by the hypervisor.  That could, later, be remedied by
another 'qemu-img convert' being done to the "preferred" format of the
hypervisor.
