Tiago Ilieve 4d553a0b49 Update Azure README
There isn't a requirement for RAW -> VHD conversion anymore. QEMU
supports VHD images from versions 1.1 and up[1], which are available on
`wheezy` (no need for `wheezy-backports`).

Also updates the information regarding `wget`.

Azure
=====
This provider generates raw images for Microsoft Azure computing
platform.
Setup
-----
``qemu-utils`` is needed to create the VHD image.
``wget`` must be installed on local computer, so the Windows Azure Linux Agent
can be downloaded.
Do not create swap space on the OS disk:
The Windows Azure Linux Agent can automatically configure swap space
using the local resource disk that is attached to the VM after
provisioning on Azure. Modify the following parameters in
/etc/waagent.conf appropriately:
::
ResourceDisk.Format=y
ResourceDisk.Filesystem=ext4
ResourceDisk.MountPoint=/mnt/resource
ResourceDisk.EnableSwap=y
ResourceDisk.SwapSizeMB=2048 ## NOTE: set this to whatever you need it to be.
You can specify a waagent.conf file to replace the default one in the
manifest in the azure/waagent section of the provider:
::
"system" : {
"waagent" : {
"conf": "path_to_my_conf_file", # optional
"version" : "2.0.4" # mandatory
}
}, ...
Waagent versions are available at:
