[Openstack] Ubuntu Cloud Image - Forbidden access! Glance fails with error 500.

[stuart.mclaren at hp.com]

To prevent this kind of thing recurring you can upload the image bytes
into Glance rather than relying on the third party url always being
available, eg:

curl http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/releases/16.04/release/ubuntu-16.04-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.img | glance image-create --name "Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS - Xenial Xerus - 64-bit - Cloud Based Ima
ge" --is-public true --container-format bare --disk-format qcow2
