[SRU] Add cloud-init data source for BigStep

[Dan Watkins]

[Impact]

Users on older versions of Ubuntu cannot use the BigStep cloud.

[Test Case]

1) Launch an Ubuntu image with the fixed version of cloud-init in the BigStep cloud
2) Successfully SSH in to it

[Regression Potential]

Low; this adds a new file which is only read on instances that are explicitly configured to read from the BigStep data source.

The attached introduces the Bigstep data source and includes a change to enable the setting of passwords in the Bigstep cloud.

We've worked with Bigstep to build an image containing the fix for this bug, and we've confirmed that the changes mean that cloud-init works with their cloud.
