Public bug reported:

Since the "location" and "copy-from" flags are being deprecated /
reserved in the newest version of the Glance CLI for creating images, it
would be useful to at  least replace their functionality with something
similar.

Suggest adding a flag called "--image-url" that eliminates the need to
copy an image to an OpenStack account in order to use it, similar to how
"--location" worked.

Suggest adding a flag called "--copy-url" that allows the user to
provide a URL to an existing image (e.g. on S3), where it can be copied
from, similar to how "--copy-from" worked.

Since some developers' needs currently depend on these features, they
are forced to use the older version of the CLI, forcing them to be
exposed to past bugs and potential security flaws.
