Title:
  It should be possible to access the ConfigDrive as a CDROM drive as
  well

Bug description:
  Currently Cloud-Init requires the ConfigDrive to be available on an
  unpartitioned disk, not a CDROM drive. Windows doesn't recognise this
  type of devices and mounting them requires the extraction of the data
  from the raw disk to an ISO file to be mounted / extracted afterwards.

  It should be optionally possible to access the ConfigDrive as a plain
  CDROM as well to simplify the access on any operating system.

  The raw HDD option compared to the CDROM one offers slightly better
  data access protection especially for the admin_pass field, but as
  this is going to be a deprecated option in the short term, the
  benefits are very limited compared to the additional complications for
  accessing the ConfigDrive data.
