[Bug 1359944] [NEW] [FFE] Update juju-quickstart to support MAAS as a configurable provider

[Richard Harding]

Public bug reported:

We have the goal this cycle of updating juju-quickstart to be able to
build the environments.yaml block for MAAS as it can for local, ec2,
hpcloud, etc. This work is not yet complete, but we'd like to request an
exception to get it in.

There is little risk that adding another provider will create issues for
juju-quickstart users. We already support five providers and so this new
one should not require any deep changes to the way quickstart operates.

The changes required are

- The first time you launch quickstart you'd see a new item in the new provider list, MAAS.
- Selecting that needs to populate a form UI for entering all the provider specific information required by MAAS.
- Saving that form updates your environments.yaml with the new provider block as it does for the others.
- We do not currently believe that adding this provider will require fundamental changes in the way juju-quickstart works once the provider is available.

We'll be looking to complete this work before the end of September and
have the final juju-quickstart release ready one month before the
release of Utopic.
