2020-06-04New feature flag functionality and fix includes failing silently (#367)James Falcon
Build time feature flags are now defined in cloudinit/features.py. Feature flags can be added to toggle configuration options or deprecated features. Feature flag overrides can be placed in cloudinit/feature_overrides.py. Further documentation can be found in HACKING.rst. Additionally, updated default behavior to exit with an exception if #include can't retrieve resources as expected. This behavior can be toggled with a feature flag. LP: #1734939

The biggest things here are: * move doc/sources/*/README.rst to doc/rtd/topics/datasources This gives each datasource a page in the rtd docs, which make it easier to read. * consistently use the same header style throughout. As suggested at http://thomas-cokelaer.info/tutorials/sphinx/rest_syntax.html use: # with overline, for parts * with overline, for chapters =, for sections -, for subsections ^, for subsubsections “, for paragraphs Also, move and re-format vendor-data documentation to rtd.
