Implement cloud-init support for ephemeral VMs using the ConfigDrive datasource approach, using a VFAT filesystem (more compatible than ISOs). This uses the same approach as systemd for populating VFAT filesystems: mkfs.vfat to create the filesystem, and mcopy (from mtools) to populate it. We avoid using systemd-repart itself as it creates GPT-partitioned disks rather than raw VFAT filesystems. The ConfigDrive is attached as a raw disk image and will be automatically detected by cloud-init in the guest VM.

Implement cloud-init support for ephemeral VMs using the ConfigDrive
datasource approach with VFAT filesystem as specified in issue #108.
Note this adds a
mod repartas we use systemd-repart to generatethe image.
The ConfigDrive is attached as a raw disk image at /dev/disk/by-id/virtio-config-2
and will be automatically detected by cloud-init in the guest VM.
