Some users request to bring back the ability to reference IMAGE and NETWORK by name in the VM templates [1].

This is a tentative syntax:

DISK = [ IMAGE        = "Ubuntu",
         IMAGE_UNAME  = "oneadmin" ]

DISK = [ IMAGE        = "Ubuntu",
         IMAGE_UID    = 7 ]

DISK = [ IMAGE        = "Ubuntu" ]

DISK = [ IMAGE_ID     = 23 ]

1: use the Image named ubuntu, owned by the user named oneadmin.
2: use the ubuntu Image owned by user with ID 7.
3: use the ubuntu Image owned by the user instantiating the VM.
4: use image with ID 23
