jschauma | Improve metadata fetching to work more reliably across IPv4-only, IPv6-only, and dual-stack instances.
AWS does not by default enable the metadata service on IPv6; you have to specify '--metadata-options "HttpProtocolIpv6=enabled"'. Without this, even a dual-stack instance can't fetch metadata from the IPv6 endpoint.
In addition, reaching the metadata service takes some time, so we can't trivially check for network readiness and instead need to actually try to fetch a file. Ok.
While here, don't overwrite a hostname that is set from /etc/rc.conf and only set the hostname if otherwise unset.

riastradh | ec2_init: Suppress error message for nonexistent sysctl.
We're querying to see whether the sysctl node is available and if so what its text is, not interested in the error message.

rhialto | Extract just the random bits to feed to /dev/urandom.
This makes no difference in the randomness of the pool, but it improves on the estimation (if any) of how many random bits were obtained. Also make the ftp -q time out a bit longer since I got some time outs.

rhialto | Add some OpenStack support.
I found that in the cloud I tried, by the time this script runs, there is no default route in effect yet. That takes some 5 to 10 seconds longer. So I added a retry loop, and to make that easier, changed the order of queries. To make sure it doesn't wait ~forever for a non-existent service I added the -q 1 option to ftp invocations.
I also added OpenStack-specific metadata which contains a different random_seed of 512 bytes every time it is requested. See https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/api/metadata/base.py#L355 It may not be trusted data but only in the strictest sense of the word. The data can only be observed by people with access to the cloud's overlay network for the particular VM.
