Hi,
    as part of the new Ironic project, one of out needs is to retrieve
images from glance for later deployment on the baremetal nodes. Until now,
we were using the implementation of the service inside nova (which also has
an almost exact copy on cinder) located on:

nova.virt.images ~ cinder.image.image_utils

nova.image.glance ~ cinder.image.glance
with a few external dependencies (mostly some exceptions and
nova.utils/cinder.utils tools.)
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ironic/+spec/image-tools

My first idea was to move this common service (needed now by 3 projects)
into oslo (https://review.openstack.org/#/q/topic:bp/image-tools,n,z), but
in a second thought, glanceclient looks like a better candidate for it.

I would to know your opinions and concerns about this. My only one is the
huge patch for the openstack-common modules needed (+9000 lines), but
pointing it out ahead on tie, should be pretty easy to solve.
