This patch finally introduces the Cloud-Init Datasource for VMware
GuestInfo as a part of cloud-init proper. This datasource has existed
since 2018, and rapidly became the de facto datasource for developers
working with Packer, Terraform, for projects like kube-image-builder,
and the de jure datasource for Photon OS.
The major change to the datasource from its previous incarnation is
the name. Now named DatasourceVMware, this new version of the
datasource will allow multiple transport types in addition to
GuestInfo keys.
This datasource includes several unique features developed to address
real-world situations:
* Support for reading any key (metadata, userdata, vendordata) both
from the guestinfo table when running on a VM in vSphere as well as
from an environment variable when running inside of a container,
useful for rapid dev/test.
* Allows booting with DHCP while still providing full participation
in Cloud-Init instance data and Jinja queries. The netifaces library
provides the ability to inspect the network after it is online,
and the runtime network configuration is then merged into the
existing metadata and persisted to disk.
* Advertises the local_ipv4 and local_ipv6 addresses via guestinfo
as well. This is useful as Guest Tools is not always able to
identify what would be considered the local address.
The primary author and current steward of this datasource spoke at
Cloud-Init Con 2020 where there was interest in contributing this datasource
to the Cloud-Init codebase.
The datasource currently lives in its own GitHub repository at
https://github.com/vmware/cloud-init-vmware-guestinfo. Once the datasource
is merged into Cloud-Init, the old repository will be deprecated.

Currently cloud-init generates fallback network config on various
scenarios.
For example:
1. When no DS found
2. There is no 'network' info given in DS metadata.
3. If a DS gives a network config once and upon reboot if DS doesn't
give any network info, previously set network data will be
overridden.
A newly introduced key in cloud.cfg.tmpl can be used to control this
behavior on PhotonOS.
Also, if OS comes with a set of default network files(configs), like in
PhotonOS, cloud-init should not overwrite them by default.
This change also includes some nitpicking changes of reorganizing few
config variables.

The name "DigitalOcean" doesn't have a space in it; it's a single
compound word written in Pascal case (upper camel case).

- Mostly based on FreeBSD, the main exception is that
`find_devs_with_on_freebsd` does not work.
- Since we cannot get the CDROM or the partition labels,
`find_devs_with_on_dragonflybsd()` has a more naive approach and
returns all the block devices.

This PR adds in support so that cloud-init can run on instances
deployed on Vultr cloud. This was originally brought up in #628.

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.

Include a new set of docs that can be used to
create a readthedocs.org site, which includes
examples, directory layout, capabilities and
such. This in-code documentation then allows
for readthedocs.org to create a website directly
from the cloud-init codebase.
