Title:
  Support Joyent lx-brand environment in smartos datasource

Status in cloud-init package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  The Joyent Metadata Protocol Specification (Version 2)[1] allows for
  serial or socket communication. The existing Joyent datasource uses
  the serial port provided in KVM instances, however LX-brand zones have
  a socket instead @ /native/.zonecontrol/metadata.sock.

  Detecting we are in a Joyent LX-brand zone is possible by looking at '/bin/uname -v' which will report "BrandZ virtual linux" or checking for the existence of a /native mount where '/native/usr/bin/uname -s' reports
  SunOS.
