    Support zero-size image creation via the v1 API

    Addresses LP 1025353 for the v1 API.

    Transition image status to active immediately on creation
    (as opposed to leaving it queued forever) if the size is set
    to zero from the get-go.

    The v2 implementation is left unchanged for now, as the image
    status does not appear to ever transition from queued to active
    in that case.

    This change allows an image to be created that simply acts as
    a properties bucket, but requires no image data. For example,
    an image created from a booted-from-volume instance where only
    the kernel, ramdisk ID, and block device mappings are required.
