[Bug 1303986] Re: [FFe] CloudSigma Datasource doesn't handle vendor-data correctly

[Ben Howard]

** Description changed:

- Cloud Sigma has asked that we update the DataSource in Cloud-init to
- support the 14.04 VendorData construct. The regression potential for
- this change is low, as only the cloud-init Cloud-Sigma datasource is
- changed, a test suite has been provided and it has been tested by Cloud
- Sigma.
+ SRU Justificaton:
+ This SRU fulfills the FFE exception granted.

  The reason for this late-in-the-cylce change is so that Cloud Sigma can
  have use the official Ubuntu Images with out conflating user and vendor-
  data. Currently Cloud Sigma uses the user-data channel improperly for
  transmitting vendor specific information to Cloud-init, when they should
  be using the vendor-data channel. By switching to the proper channel for
  vendor specific information, user-data and vendor-data will not be
  mangled, preventing collisions of user-data and vendor-specific data.
  
  [ORIGINAL BUG REPORT]
  It appears as the CloudSigma datasource only has support for 'user-data', and not 'vendor-data.'
