Title:
  xenapi: image size calculation ignores container_format

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Expired

Bug description:
  During this review:
   https://review.openstack.org/40908

  A potential bug has been discovered.

   nova/virt/xenapi/vm_utils.py

   if image_type == ImageType.DISK_VHD:
       vdis = _fetch_vhd_image(...)
   else:
       vdis = _fetch_disk_image(...)

  So _fetch_disk_image is called with:
   ami, aki, ari, raw, iso disk_formats (see determine_disk_image_type() function in vm_utils.py)

  Whenever the size is calculated for these images, the container_format
  is not taken into account, and the size reported by glance is used. If
  the container applies compression, the size reported by glance will be
  smaller, than the space needed to save the contents. In these cases,
  the size calculation should fail, instead of returning the size from
  metadata.

  Look at _fetch_disk_image(...) and investigate the virtual_size
  calculation!
