[Bug 516373] [NEW] Support for using a separate file for the NODES list

[Thierry Carrez]

Public bug reported:

In order to run the autoregistration process as the "eucalyptus" user,
we need to make the NODES value maintainable by the eucalyptus user
itself. To avoid easy privilege escalation from eucalyptus to root, this
needs to happen in a separate file (eucalyptus.conf is sourced by the
root user in init/upstart scripts).

Two things need to happen:
* eucalyptus-cc needs to support NODES="file" and look into nodes IP addresses in that file -- that should be done in eucalyptus upstream (per Dan)
* euca_conf needs to be patched to update NODES value in a separate file -- that would be done as a UEC-specific patch since eucalyptus upstream would not add a new file so late in the cycle.
