Title:
  [FFe] add support for 'cloud-archive:' like 'ppa:' but for cloud
  archive

Status in “software-properties” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  This is a request to add 'cloud-archive:' support to the 'apt-add-
  repository' command.

  The end goal is that we want to do something like this:
   apt-add-repository cloud-archive:havana

  And have that:
    install the ubuntu-cloud-keyring
    add the appropriate repos as described at [1]

  The token after 'cloud-archive' would be either an openstack release,
  OS_RELEASE-proposed, or 'tools' or 'tools-proposed.

  The cloud-archive is only supported on precise, so in the end we want
  this SRU'd also.  The branch linked will raise exception if the user
  tries to add the repo on something other than precise.

  The linked branch passes tests and was reviewed by upstream
  maintainer.  It was also done with the eye towards not breaking
  existing users of either the python api, the kde or gtk or cli
  frontends.

  In the comments below, I've walked through most of the function of
  'apt-add-repository' to make sure nothing was broken.  Luckily this is
  a fairly simple command and there is not a lot of paths through the
  code.
