    Check if v2 is available and fallback

    We have a basic implementation for a fallback mechanism that will use v1
    rather than v2 when downloading schema files from glance-api fails.
    However, this is not sound. If the schemas are cached already, we won't
    check if v2 is available and fail to fallback.

    This patch fixes the aforementioned issue by getting the list of
    available versions from the server only when the API versions was not
    explicitly specified through the CLI. That is, for all commands that
    don't pass `--os-image-api-version 2`, we'll check v2's availability and
    we'll fallback to v1 if it isn't available.

    This patch also changes how we handle `/versions` calls in the client.
    The server has been, incorrectly, replying to requests to `/version`
    with a 300 error, which ended up in the client re-raising such
    exception. While I think 300 shouldn't raise an exception, I think we
    should handle that in a spearate patch. Therefore, this patch just
    avoids raising such exception when `/version` is explicitly called.

    This fallback behaviour and the check on `/versions` will be removed in
    future versions of the client. The later depends on this bug[0] being
    fixed.
