Latest features in autopkgtest-cloud

Thanks for pointing that out! Interestingly enough, @dann frazier
<dann.frazier at canonical.com> and I were just recently considering querying
autopkgtest.ubuntu.com as one part of the update process for one of our
internal dashboards, so this is very relevant info for us. Is it safe to
assume that this means it will stay that way? (one query method we were
considering is scraping the HTML as long as the format does not change
frequently, as this would allow us to query for a single package as opposed
to downloading the entire multiple GB database and querying that instead)
