Scott Moser 18140a7787 cloudsigma: change default dsmode to 'net'
Previously this had 'local' as the default datasource mode, meaning
that user-data code such as boot hooks and such would not be guaranteed to have
network access.  That would be out of sync with the expectation on other
platforms where the default is 'network up'.

The user can still specify 'dsmode' as local if necessary and the
local datasource will claim itself found.

CloudSigma Datasource

This datasource finds metadata and user-data from the CloudSigma cloud platform. Data transfer occurs through a virtual serial port of the CloudSigma's VM and the presence of network adapter is NOT a requirement,

See server context in the public documentation for more information.

Setting a hostname

By default the name of the server will be applied as a hostname on the first boot.

Providing user-data

You can provide user-data to the VM using the dedicated meta field in the server context cloudinit-user-data. By default cloud-config format is expected there and the #cloud-config header could be omitted. However since this is a raw-text field you could provide any of the valid config formats.

If your user-data does not need an internet connection you can create a meta field in the server context cloudinit-dsmode and set "local" as value. If this field does not exist the default value is "net".
