Public bug reported:

If one is following the documented steps, there is no way to import an
image from a remote URL using glance v2, unless one enables deprecated
options.

It's asinine to force users to hairpin an image file - (e.g. download
from remote URL to local FS, then upload to image service)

A workaround https://bugs.launchpad.net/glance/+bug/1595335 notes that
`show_multiple_locations` is required for this to work via Horizon, and
https://bugs.launchpad.net/glance/+bug/1618583 has this option
deprecated.

This not only affects Horizon, as using the CLI commands to set an
image's location causes a 403 error, unless we set
`show_multiple_locations=True`.

There has got to be a way to accomplish this easily as the v1 `--copy-
from` method. It needs to be documented, only documenting examples using
`--file` is a poor assumption of actual use.
