  With the client its possible to create an image with a length
  different to the input image file/number of bytes in stdin:

  bare --size 100 < /etc/motd

  if you try to download you get the number of bytes you specified

  $ glance -k image-download 5e709403-2950-4e7c-91f2-70606e0226c5
  Welcome to Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.2.0-27-generic x86_64)

   * Documentation:  https://help.u

  -----------------------

  alternatively if the size specified is too large the image-create
  command hangs.

  If we are creating an image without the --location or --copy_from
  arguments should the --size parameter be ignored/errored on rather
  than respected as it is currently?

  The help seems to suggest size isn't to be used when the request body
  contains the image data:

    --size <SIZE>         Size of image data (in bytes). Only used with '--
                          location' and '--copy_from'.

  If so (ie we should error on size mismatch) feel free to assign to me.
