kairat_kushaev 5814440bb9 Enhance description of instance-uuid option for image-create

Current description of instance-uuid may confuse users because
they may think that instance-uuid can serve as basis for image
but it just stores instance-uuid as image-metadata. So we need
to enhance the description in glanceclient.
