Description
Support downloading a remote image, uploading it to Oxide, and using the image for the Packer build.
Some considerations.
- What happens when the image is already uploaded to Oxide?
- Should this be another configuration attribute in the
oxide-instancebuilder or another plugin component?

Research direction
Start with the oxide-instance builder and trace how image sources are configured and passed into the Packer build. Define the behavior for downloading a remote image, uploading it to Oxide, reusing an image that is already uploaded, and deciding whether the configuration belongs on the builder or in another plugin component.
