No ability to rename interfaces using OpenStack cloud-init provider

[vinceaperri]

User Story

As a developer I would like to specify the name of an interface in Metal3DataTemplate when using the OpenStack cloud-init provider.

Detailed Description

The OpenStack cloud-init provider supports renaming an interface, but only through the "name" attribute. Metal3DataTemplate, however, does not recognize this attribute.

It is expected that Metal3DataTemplate optionally support the "name" attribute to employ the renaming functionality in the OpenStack cloud-init provider.

Anything else you would like to add:

The relevant code in cloud-init: openstack.py

I think this is a legit feature request but it is very low on our priority list at the moment would you be willing to propose a design document to metal3-docs and then implement it ? @vinceaperri
