enhanced network instances Stretch upwards.
* For GCC >=6 in Debian PIE (Position Independent Executable) has being activated
it is causing enhanced network driver for AWS images to fail at
compilation time due to incompatibility with PIE options for the kernel
* To learn what PIE is read docs at
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Code-Gen-Options.html#Code-Gen-Options
The way boot options for linux and config params for grub
were configured gave rise to quite a few bugs.
The configuration has now been abstracted so that
options can be added without interfering with the work
of other tasks (no more sed_i!)
Up until now I didn't see the point of using spaces for indentation.
However, the previous commit (a18bec3) was quite eye opening.
Given that python is an indentation aware language, the amount of
mistakes that went unnoticed because tabs and spaces were used
at the same time (tabs for indentation and spaces for alignment)
were unacceptable.
E101,W191 have been re-enable in the tox flake8 checker and
the documentation has been modified accordingly.
The following files have been left as-is:

This is an attempt to fix issue #237
The script "growpart" was added as an asset, because
Debian's Jessie version (inside cloud-utils) package is
outdated and buggy.
Then "expand-root" init script was modified to call growpart
before calling resize2fs. In fact, calling resize2fs without
resizing the partition first is useless.
The task was named 'AddWorkaroundGrowpart' because it must
go away in the future in favor of using recent stuff in cloud-utils.
Currently even the official images suffer this issue, that makes
the system use only 8 GiB, even if the user chooses a bigger
storage size inside AWS.
All provider specific settings have been moved to the
provider section. The image name itself is now located
at the top level and called "name". It is required for all providers.
This change adds a provider option, enhanced_networking,
which installs the Intel virtual networking driver for
SR-IOV using DKMS. It also modifies the EC2 AMI registration
to include support for SR-IOV.
Lines removed: over 500. Readiblity gained: A shitload
Now you can actually get an overview of a manifest on a single screen height.
I am sure that it will also save a lot of hassle when modifying schema in the future.
No more "expected property name" etc. because of an extraneous comma
Comments are of course natively support, so there's no need for this minify_json hokey pokey
* Be more robust when setting GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT
* Stop console from blanking
* Switch elevator to noop as disks are not real disks and this yields
better performance.
S3 images can now be bootstrapped outside EC2.
However, this fix adds the requirement of a "region" setting.
At some point we could make "region" optional and fail when bootstrap-vz
is run outside EC2 and no "region" is set.
