What this PR does / why we need it:
Save on API requests and stop querying for the image ID from the DO API if the numeric ID is already given: a failure to reference the image would show up during the droplet create request and lead to the same backoff that we run into today.
Special notes for your reviewer:
Also refactor the code and improve error messages slightly as a drive-by change.
Release note:
