Bug Description

The dashboard does not provide an option to enable/disable config drive when launching an instance. This is a problem for OpenStack deployments that do not enable the metadata service. For such deployments, launching an instance from the dashboard will result in the image not activating properly because config drive was not enabled.

The dashboard does provide options to set "Customization Script" (i.e. user data), key pair, etc. which only work if config drive is enabled or the metadata service is enabled. Since a user cannot control whether or not the metadata service is enabled, the user at least needs control of config drive to ensure the options work.

    Allow setting config drive option when launching instance

    This patch adds a "Configuration Drive" checkbox to the Advanced tab
    of the Launch Instance workflow, if the config drive extension is
    supported. This allows setting the config drive option when launching
    an instance.
