Title:
  Backing storage/client are dependent on md5 checksum

Status in OpenStack Image Registry and Delivery Service (Glance):
  Invalid
Status in Python client library for Glance:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  In multiple places there is a lacking of information on what checksum
  algorithm a image used.

  So if someone wanted to use a better hashing algorithm they would not
  be able to.

  Looking at the db it only has (in the images table).

  | checksum         | varchar(32)  | YES  |     | NULL    |       |

  Note a checksum_type (which could vary) would be needed to allow for
  other hashing algorithms (besides md5).

  Similarly with the glance client, it would need something like.

  x-image-meta-checksum-type header to distinguish what to use.
