Bug Description

For fedora element, we can set variable DIB_LOCAL_IMAGE to use local image instead of download from url.
But for ubuntu element, there is no such variable to set, and we need to download base image from url everytime.

If I understand correctly, the issue is that you have a ubuntu image thats not in the standard mirror layout so you can't just replace DIB_CLOUD_IMAGES. So - sure.

Yes, that's it. And ubuntu element accept a tar.gz file not a img/qcow2 file, so I need to add functions to support local images.
