enable cloud-init on FreeBSD for Azure

[honzhan_microsoft.com]

Summary

cloud-init official version does not support FreeBSD on Azure, the merge request (https://code.launchpad.net/~redriver/cloud-init/+git/cloud-init/+merge/314895) is still pending for review.
In order not to block the usage on Azure, this ports target to patch on cloud-init 0.7.9 to make it work for FreeBSD 10.3/11 on Azure.

add the missing build for cloud-init-azure

[bapt]

I can't see the rc script is it installed by setup.py?
I don't think the pkg-message is needed, it is just the usual way to activate a service

Why is it depending on sudo? I bet cloudinit is run as root isn't it?

usually this is a ; not &&

[bapt]

So after looking at the content of the package:
it installs plenty of rc.d/*.orig files that should be removed

The cloudinit_override function is all wrong and should just be removed

All configuration files in /etc are wrong they should be in /usr/local/etc

The NetworkManager hook should just not be installed we do not support networkmanager on freebsd

The libudev rules has no sense on freebsd

/etc/dhcp/dhclient-exit-hooks.d/hook-dhclient is also not valid on freebsd

All above have been revised.

cloud-init default finds the configuration file from '/etc/cloud', and it is hard coded in settings.py. It is not easy to change this in a short term. Shall we leave it there now?

Yes, I will remove this dependence.
