support network configuration in cloud-init --local

this allows 'cloud-init --local' to fully run before networking comes up.
By doing so, we can now cleanly apply networking to the new system.

This adds support for reading ConfigDrive network configuration
and also from NoCloud.  The support is only present for ubuntu/debian
at the current time.  Other distros will follow.

Also ability to specify network configuration on kernel command line
via either ip= or network-config=<base64>.
