openstack: read the dynamic metadata group vendor_data2.json (#777)
Add support for openstack's dynamic vendor data, which appears under openstack/latest/vendor_data2.json This adds vendor_data2 to all pathways; it should be a no-op for non-OpenStack providers. LP: #1841104

+OpenStack can also be configured to provide 'dynamic vendordata'

+Cloud-init will look for a ``cloud-init`` at the vendor_data2 path; if found,
