Code Issues Proposed changes

Add detail description of image_cache_max_size 

The description of 'image_cache_max_size' was ambiguous. There was not
the certainty that the 'image_cache_max_size' parameter was about the
aggregate size of the cache or a per image limit.
The 'image_cache_max_size' is an upper limit beyond which pruner,
if running, starts cleaning the images cache.
Hence added detail description of 'image_cache_max_size' in document
and configuration file.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The image cache has a configurable maximum size (the ``image_cache_max_size``
configuration file option. However, when images are successfully returned
from a call to ``GET /images/<IMAGE_ID>``, the image cache automatically
writes the image file to its cache, regardless of whether the resulting
write would make the image cache's size exceed the value of
``image_cache_max_size``. In order to keep the image cache at or below this
maximum cache size, you need to run the ``glance-cache-pruner`` executable.

The recommended practice is to use ``cron`` to fire ``glance-cache-pruner``
at a regular interval.
