Title:
  min_disk and size information wrong when creating an instance image

Status in Glance:
  Invalid
Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  If I launch an instance from an image that has min_disk set to 2GB,
  then create an image from the instance, the min_disk attribute is not
  set correctly on the image (it's set to 0). Instead of being set as an
  attribute, it exists as a property instead. This can cause issues when
  other services rely on min_disk to make decisions about size (e.g. bug
  1368600 for Horizon, not sure if Cinder is affected too).

  This doesn't seem to happen when creating a basic instance from an
  instance, only when there is also a volume involved.

  I'm not sure if this is a nova or glance issue so I'm opening a task
  on both for now.

  Steps to reproduce
  ------------------------
  (done on a recent devstack)

  1. Create a new image with e.g. min_disk 2GB
  $ glance image-create --name mindisk2gb --disk-format qcow2 --container-format bare --location https://launchpad.net/cirros/trunk/0.3.0/+download/cirros-0.3.0-i386-disk.img --min-disk 2
  +------------------+--------------------------------------+
  | Property         | Value                                |
  +------------------+--------------------------------------+
  | checksum         | None                                 |
  | container_format | bare                                 |
  | created_at       | 2014-09-16T12:35:33                  |
  | deleted          | False                                |
  | deleted_at       | None                                 |
  | disk_format      | qcow2                                |
  | id               | 9bbed3a5-00bf-4901-855e-556ca02e7fb7 |
  | is_public        | False                                |
  | min_disk         | 2                                    |      <-- min_disk set as expected
  | min_ram          | 0                                    |
  | name             | mindisk2gb                           |
  | owner            | eb6acc49df4b4390a99c722ded526284     |
  | protected        | False                                |
  | size             | 9159168                              |      <-- size looks ok
  | status           | active                               |
  | updated_at       | 2014-09-16T12:35:37                  |
  | virtual_size     | None                                 |
  +------------------+--------------------------------------+

  2. Boot an instance from this image, backed by a volume (I believe this matches what happens when launching with "Image (creates a new volume)" in Horizon)
  $ nova boot --flavor 4115a835-04f0-4457-b93c-1817bc44812c --block-device device='/dev/vda',source='image',dest='volume',id='9bbed3a5-00bf-4901-855e-556ca02e7fb7',size=2,bootindex=0 my_instance

  3. Create a snapshot 
  $ nova image-create 3e70fd2e-1dc6-4001-941e-9496a9514882 my_instance_snap

  4. Find the snapshot in glance image-list and look at the details:
  $ glance image-show d44f7368-5b91-4291-b1f4-e9386fbbbe93

  Chatting with someone on the Glance team this doesn't seem to be the
  expected behaviour? I would expect the size and min_disk attribute to
  be correct and similar to the properties, in this case.
