    Allow OVA upload for images
    
    The OpenStack CLI allows the upload of OVA for images if the container format is
    set to ova.  This patch allows a user to upload a OVA to Glance through the UI,
    changing the container_format to ova and the disk_format to vmdk.

Title:
  Uploading OVA to Glance via Horizon Fails

Status in OpenStack Dashboard (Horizon):
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  If a user wishes to upload an image to Glance that is an OVA file, the
  import fails because the disk_format gets marked as "bare" and the
  container_format is not taken into account.

  I've checked the dashboard for images and found this problem can be
  very easily fixed by checking if the user specified ova in the form
  and updating these 2 settings.

  dashboards/project/images/images/forms.py after line 63
      elif disk_format == 'ova':
          # The ova format requires glance to set the disk format to vmdk and
          # the container format to ova in order for glance to accept the image
          # and to allow successful launch of the image.  OVA does not support
          # a container format of bare.
          container_format = 'ova'
          disk_format = 'vmdk'

  Upon adding this change, OVAs can be added via the UI without error,
  and Glance can launch the OVA as expected.  This only impacts single-
  disk OVA.

  Can someone verify this for me so we know on our side this is the
  correct action?  I'm not totally familiar with contributing to the
  project, so I'm working on that internally as well.
