cli: add cloud-init query subcommand to query instance metadata
Cloud-init caches any cloud metadata crawled during boot in the file /run/cloud-init/instance-data.json. Cloud-init also standardizes some of that metadata across all clouds. The command 'cloud-init query' surfaces a simple CLI to query or format any cached instance metadata so that scripts or end-users do not have to write tools to crawl metadata themselves. Since 'cloud-init query' is runnable by non-root users, redact any sensitive data from instance-data.json and provide a root-readable unredacted instance-data-sensitive.json. Datasources can now define a sensitive_metadata_keys tuple which will redact any matching keys which could contain passwords or credentials from instance-data.json. Also add the following standardized 'v1' instance-data.json keys:   - user_data: The base64encoded user-data provided at instance launch   - vendor_data: Any vendor_data provided to the instance at launch   - underscore_delimited versions of existing hyphenated keys:     instance_id, local_hostname, availability_zone, cloud_name
