Expect multi-region MAAS clouds

[Mark Shuttleworth]

The cloud model in Juju is straightforward - clouds have regions which have AZs. But MAAS is somehow different, there isn't quite the same "region" concept in the clouds, they seem to go straight from 'cloud' to endpoint, skipping the region in the middle.

But MAAS is intended to be multi-region, which is why we call it maas-regiond :)

So I would expect a clouds.yaml more like the following:

clouds:
  garage:
    regions:
      lhr:
        endpoint: http://192.168.2.54/MAAS
      bos:
        endpoint: http://...
      nyc:
        endpoint: http://...

And then:

  $ juju list-clouds
  Cloud Type Regions
  ...
  garage maas bos, lhr, nyc

It makes alot of sense. I have multiple sites which has many machines and to be able to reference them based on regions and az makes it alot more cloudlike.
