Configure USB Tablet From Images

Registered by Sahid Orentino

Users would like the ability to specify use_usb_tablet. He would like to be able to launch some virtual machines with use_usb_tablet=true and use_usb_tablet=false on the same hypervisor.

Hypervisors runs Windows and Linux workloads since USB mice are not required on Linux instances we would like the ability to disabled it on those instances while leaving it enabled on Windows instances. This can help to ensure security policy.

The aim of that blueprint is to give the opportunity to set use_usb_tablet per images property
