Add docs which can be used on readthedocs.org

Include a new set of docs that can be used to 
create a readthedocs.org site, which includes
examples, directory layout, capabilities and
such. This in-code documentation then allows
for readthedocs.org to create a website directly
from the cloud-init codebase.

+User configurability
+--------------------
+
+`Cloud-init`_ 's behavior can be configured via user-data.
+
+    User-data can be given by the user at instance launch time.
+
+This is done via the ``--user-data`` or ``--user-data-file`` argument to ec2-run-instances for example.
+
+* Check your local clients documentation for how to provide a `user-data` string
+  or `user-data` file for usage by cloud-init on instance creation.
