Add feature flags to cloudinit.version.

This exposes a mechanism for users of cloud-init to determine if
a version has a specific feature, and adds documentation to that affect.
We list an existing feature NETWORK_CONFIG_V1 as an example.

Also add a 'features' subcommand for listing these to stdout.
