nova-image: use wget instead of cloud-init (via EC2 API)
The Openstack metadata service exposes the EC2 API. We use the existing `ec2.nix` module to configure the hostname and ssh keys of an Openstack Instance. A test checks the ssh server is well configured. This is mainly to reduce the size of the image (700MB). Also, declarative features provided by cloud-init are not really useful since we would prefer to use our `configuration.nix` file instead.
