This branch introduces a new command line feature for cloud-init.
Currently, the cloud-init module has the capability to analyze events in
cloud-init.log in three ways: 'show', 'blame', 'dump'.
These changes add a fourth capability, called 'boot'.
Running the command 'cloud-init analyze boot' will provide the user three
timestamps.
1) Timestamp for when the kernel starts initializing.
2) Timestamp for when the kernel finishes its initialization.
3) Timestamp for when systemd activates cloud-init.
This feature enables cloud-init users to analyze different boot phases.
This would aid in debugging performance issues related
to cloud-init startup or tracking regression.

Fix a typo in in documentation that showed 'analyze blame' but
intended to show 'analyze dump'.

Building doc would issue some warnings. This fixes all the warnings,
and changes the "code blocks" that were listed as 'bash' to instead
be 'shell-session'.

Give a bit more detailed information which others can quickly reference to
discover new CLI subcommand functionality. This section was a bit stale as
we've introduced cloud-init status, clean and analyze content that was a
bit under represented. Since we've had a few request of externals who try
to run cloud-init subcommands on the commandline instead of rebooting,
it's probably worth a bit of content here to describe how those init and
module subcommands work.

This branch adds cloudinit-analyze into cloud-init proper. It adds an
"analyze" subcommand to the cloud-init command line utility for quick
performance assessment of cloud-init stages and events.
On a cloud-init configured instance, running "cloud-init analyze blame"
will now report which cloud-init events cost the most wall time. This
allows for quick assessment of the most costly stages of cloud-init.
This functionality is pulled from Ryan Harper's analyze work.
The cloudinit-analyze main script itself has been refactored a bit for
inclusion as a subcommand of cloud-init CLI. There will be a followup
branch at some point which will optionally instrument detailed strace
profiling, but that approach needs a bit more discussion first.
This branch also adds:
* additional debugging topic to the sphinx-generated docs describing
cloud-init analyze, dump and show as well as cloud-init single usage.
* Updates the Makefile unittests target to include cloudinit directory
because we now have unittests within that package.
