[Bug 1493453] Re: [SRU] vendor_data isn't parsed properly when using the nocloud datasource

[Ben Howard]

** Description changed:

  SRU Justification:
  
  [IMPACT] The NoCloud Datasource assigns vendor_data to the wrong cloud-
  init internal variable. This causes the vendor_data to be improperly
  parsed, and prevents it from being consummed.
  
  [FIX] See original report below
  
- [TESTING] 
- 1. Build LXD image from -proposed
- 2. Boot in LXD, and confirm that instance comes up
+ [TESTING]
+ 1. Start in-cloud instance
+ 2. Update cloud-init to version in proposed
+ 3. Populate /var/lib/cloud/seed/nocloud with user-data, vendor-data, and meta-data. 
+   meta-data:
+      instance-id: testing
+ 
+   user-data:
+      #cloud-config
+      packages:
+      - pastebinit
+ 
+   vendor-data:
+      #cloud-config
+      runcmd:
+      - [ "touch", "/tmp/vd-worked" ]
+ 
+ 3. Configure instance for NoCloud DS:
+ 
+ $ cat > /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/999-sru.cfg <<EOM
+ DataSources: [ NoCloud }
+ EOM
+ 
+ 4. Reboot
+ 5. Confirm that /tmp/vd-worked exists
+ 6. Confirm that pastebinit is installed
  
  [REGRESION POTENTIAL]
- Low. The NoCloud Datasource is used when there are no other datasources and is a local or fallback Datasource. This change only affects the vendor_data assignment which generally not used.

  [ORIGINAL REPORT]
  The following fix is needed:
  
  "self.vendordata = mydata['vendor-data']" must be changed to
  "self.vendordata_raw = mydata['vendor-data']"
