Allow user_data to be passed to nova in a cloud-init free raw form

Registered by Steve Baker

Although heat's agent tooling is heavily dependent on cloud-init, some users will want to orchestrate servers that are not cloud-init enabled. They may use their own agent, or a user_data which is executed as a script on boot.

OS::Nova::Server should optionally allow this by adding the property 'user_data_format' with the available options 'CLOUD_INIT' or 'RAW'
