[cloud] Add ability to retrieve Google Compute Engine metadata
For some unspecified "security" reason, the Google Compute Engine
metadata server will refuse any requests that do not include the
non-standard HTTP header "Metadata-Flavor: Google".
Attempt to autodetect such requests (by comparing the hostname against
"metadata.google.internal"), and add the "Metadata-Flavor: Google"
header if applicable.
Enable this feature in the CONFIG=cloud build, and include a sample
embedded script allowing iPXE to boot from a script configured as
metadata via e.g.
# Create shared boot image
make bin/ipxe.usb CONFIG=cloud EMBED=config/cloud/gce.ipxe
# Configure per-instance boot script
gcloud compute instances add-metadata <instance> \
--metadata-from-file ipxeboot=boot.ipxe
