    Removed bin/glance's TTY detection.

    Fixes bug 907906

    The logic is sound: if location=XXX is specified, use that.
    If it's not specified, use sys.stdin to read image data. No need to
    error when location=XXX is specified and stdin just happens to be a TTY.

Adding a Location property AND image data (in form of redirect) is NOT a valid use case. It's one or the other... I'm a little stumped as to why this was pushed through, especially since the chef changes weren't correct anyway (used piping instead of redirection to place image data into glance CLI tool...

Jay,

I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing here. I understand that specifying a Location property and image data is not a valid use case. However, the way glance was attempting to detect that situation was the incorrect bit.

If you look at the bug report, glance needs to be able to support:

`glance add name=XXX location=YYY`

*when NOT in a TTY*

When we were running "glance add name=XXX location=YYY" without any redirect or piping, glance was failing saying that we shouldn't be giving data AND a location parameter. However, as you can see from the command...no data was being piped in and nothing was being redirected into bin/glance. I was just trying to add an image with a location.

The problem was that Chef was running a bash script in a process WITHOUT a TTY, which is pretty common I'd imagine because creating a pseudo TTY would be a pain/unnecessary. Simply calling `os.isatty` wasn't the correct logic because that would mean you'd always need to be redirecting data when not in a TTY (right?).

The Chef script with adding images w/o data and with a "location" parameter haven't been purposed for merge yet, which might be adding to the confusion here, but I can show you what was failing if I'm not explaining it correctly here. I'm not an expert on TTYs, but I'd like to think this change was correct because "glance add name=XXX location=YYY" should be able to be run when not in a TTY-like environment.

Ah, I gotcha... OK, yes that makes much more sense. Sorry for the
confusion, man! :(
