Add a openstack specific datasource

Openstack has a unique derivative datasource
that is gaining usage. Previously the config
drive datasource provided part of this functionality
as well as the ec2 datasource, but since new
functionality is being added to openstack is
seems benefical to combine the used parts into
one datasource just made for handling openstack
deployments.

This patch factors out the common logic shared
between the config drive and the openstack
metadata datasource and places that in a shared
helper file and then creates a new openstack
datasource that readers from the openstack metadata
service and refactors the config drive datasource
to use this common logic.
