7b24d6e2dc cloud-setup: mark environment variables that are supported configuration
"nm-cloud-setup" can by configured via environment variables. Mark all the
names of such variables with NMCS_ENV_VARIABLE() macro. This allows to grep
for them.

ff816dec17 cloud-setup: require to explicitly opt-in for providers via environment variable
"nm-cloud-setup" is supposed to work without configuration.

However, it (obviously) fetches data from the network you are connected to (which
might be untrusted or controlled by somebody malicious). The tool cannot
protect you against that, also because the meta data services uses HTTP and not
HTTPS. It means, you should run the tool only when it's suitable for your
environment, that is: in the right cloud.

Usually, the user/admin/distributor would know for which cloud the enable the tool.
It's also wasteful to repeatedly probe for the unavailable cloud.

So, instead disable all providers by default and require to opt-in by setting an
environment variable.

This can be conveniently done via `systemctl edit nm-cloud-provider.service` to
set Environment=. Of course, a image can also pre-deploy such am override file.

953e01336a cloud-setup: let dispatcher script run tool only if service is enabled
We don't want that when the user installs the package, that the
dispatcher script automatically executes the tool. Instead, the user
should use `systemctl enable/disable` to control whether the service
is active (of via the timer).

Hence, let the dispatcher script check whether the service is enabled.

That leads to a different problem, that we need to make it possible for
"nm-cloud-setup.service" to be enabled in the first place. As such, add
a [Install] section and let it be wanted by NetworkManager.service. The
problem with this is that now the tool will run very early, just after
NetworkManager started. At that point, it might not yet have setup
networking. But that should be acceptable, after all, the tool either
fails to fetch meta data that early, or it succeeds. Very likely, it
will by aborted by dispatcher's restart command.

69f048bf0c cloud-setup: add tool for automatic IP configuration in cloud
This is a tool for automatically configuring networking in a cloud
environment.

Currently it only supports IPv4 on EC2, but it's intended for extending
to other cloud providers (Azure). See [1] and [2] for how to configure
secondary IP addresses on EC2. This is what the tool currently aims to
do (but in the future it might do more).

[1] https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/ec2-ubuntu-secondary-network-interface/

It is inspired by SuSE's cloud-netconfig ([1], [2]) and ec2-net-utils
package on Amazon Linux ([3], [4]).

[2] https://github.com/SUSE-Enceladus/cloud-netconfig
[3] https://github.com/aws/ec2-net-utils
[4] https://github.com/lorengordon/ec2-net-utils.git

It is also intended to work without configuration. The main point is
that you boot an image with NetworkManager and nm-cloud-setup enabled,
and it just works.
