Bug Description

If one has configured sshd_config to place host keys in a non-default location (e.g. on some persistent volume that survives instance termination/recreation), cc_ssh.py will still create keys on the first boot in /etc/ssh/

Simple solution: allow cloud.cfg to specify the path.

Slightly harder but way cooler: parse /etc/ssh/sshd_config
