Previously, when downloading an image, importd would first download them into one image which it would then consider immutable (named after the originating URL/etag), and then immediately make a copy of it (named after the client chosen name). This makes some sense in VM/container cases where the images are typically mutable, and thus the original downloaded copy is of some value. For sysexts/confexts/portable this doesn't make much sense though, as they are typically immutable. Hence make the concept optional. This adds --keep-download=yes/no as a new option that controls the above. Moreover it disables the behaviour for all image classes but "machine". The behaviour remains enabled for "machine", for compat.
