VMimage get --debug option

This commit adds a new option to `vmimage get` feature called `debug`.
It brings possibility to run vmimage command in debug mode to get more
detailed information about possible failures. In debug mode, all
exceptions caused by vmimage utility will be raised to console. That
should provide enough information for further debugging of possible
issues.
