[LIBCLOUD-537] Added support for generic image management at Rackspace and
EC2
I was planning to take care of GCE in this first push as well. However,
Google presents an interesting challenge with their persistent disk model and
their use of the snapshot and image terms. We could use snapshots as a
replacement for images. However, this would then limit our ability to use the
default images provided by Google. It seems like we actually need a factory for
evaluating both the images and snapshots in order to fold in GCE. I completed
the _supported_methods_image_management.rst as well in case we want to include
it in the documentation. I did submit an email regarding this effort to the dev
mail list but I didn't hear anything back so I just went ahead and made the
change.

> Add support for generic compute image management by extending base.py with:
> save_image()
> delete_image()
> get_image()
> copy_image()
> This functionality follows the generic capabilities of Libcloud and applies
> to most of the providers. Initially I will be extending Amazon, Rackspace,
