Snapshot an instance with cinder backend volume , the created image doesn't has the image_type. Need to set the image_type with the value "snapshot" for the instance's snapshot which is cinder backend volume. Modify the function compute_api.snapshot_volume_backed, and add the image_type properties for the image.
