Bug Description

Display 'Name' tag of AWS EC2 instance in Byobu information bar.

Unfortunately, this seems to be hard to do, as access to Tag metadata requires authentication, and is not part of the details offered in the "magic address" that serves metadata to instances. Hopefully I overlooked some easy way to do this...

It's actually pretty easy to do in AWS:

curl http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/instance-type

And in Google:

curl http://169.254.169.254/computeMetadata/v1/instance/machine-type -H "Metadata-Flavor: Google"
