Public bug reported:


API image-download will download the image and print it to stdout by default, if we don't add ''--file" option. 
Is that used for redirect the output to a new file? Could we improve the default action of 'image-download'?

>From the help doc, we can see:

# glance help image-download
usage: glance image-download [--file <FILE>] [--progress] <IMAGE>

Download a specific image.

Positional arguments:
  <IMAGE>        Name or ID of image to download.

Optional arguments:
  --file <FILE>  Local file to save downloaded image data to. If this is not
                 specified the image data will be written to stdout.
  --progress     Show download progress bar.


output the image to stdout:

#glance image-download 535c71a3-8ad3-442d-ac46-16b0ae1a5e53
