We've been making small steps towards this for a couple of cycles and
I'm happy we're finally switching the default version on the client
library.

The above being said, I believe our client library needs a lot of more
work but this release should set us in a better position to do that.

For folks consuming glanceclient, here's what you need to know:

If you're using glanceclient from your software - that is, you're
using the library and not the CLI - there's nothing you need to do. If
you're using the library, I'm assuming you're creating a client
instance using[0] or by instantiating the specific versioned client
class. Both of these cases require you to specify an API version to
use.

However, if you're using the CLI and you want to stick using the V1,
then you'll need to update your scripts and make sure they use
`--os-image-api 1`. Respectively, if your scripts are using
`--os-image-api 2`, then you should feel free to ignore that argument.

As a good practice, for now, I'd recommend specifying the argument
regardless of the version.

For other changes, please review the rel notes[1] (as soon as they are
there, or you can read[2])

Thanks Stuart for tagging these bugs and everyone for raising great
concerns pro/against the release[0]. And thanks Erno for pushing this
out.
