Support Image status as argument in list_images service

[greyhoundforty]

Currently when using the SDK to list the available compute images in a given VPC region you get back a list of both available and deprecated images. While I can add the visibility option to only return Public or Private it would be handy to also have an argument for the status of images.

Code

vpcService = VpcV1(
    authenticator=authenticator,
    version=version_date
    )

vpcServiceRegion = 'https://' + os.environ.get('VPC_REGION') + '.iaas.cloud.ibm.com/v1'
vpcService.set_service_url(vpcServiceRegion)

getVpcImages = vpcService.list_images().get_result()
for image in getVpcImages['images']:
    print(image['status'])

Result

main ✗ $ python3 testing/get-ubuntu-images.py

Given that the API only returns a limit of 100 images per call, it is on the end user to loop through all of the images using pagination and then filter based on status. Allowing something like this would make it easier to just deal with images that can actually be deployed:

getVpcImages = vpcService.list_images(status=available).get_result()
