  It's too easy to forget to select a keypair when launching an instance

Bug description:
  I remember discussions about this but cannot find a bug #.

  At the moment, when Launching a new instance it's very easy to forget
  to set a keypair and I've seen a lot of users reporting being annoyed
  by that behaviour (myself included), especially when they only have
  one keypair they use for everything.

  Possible solutions include:
  - If there is only one keypair, select it by default
  - Transform the launch instance workflow into a "wizard"-like workflow where the user has to go through each step/tab, making it less likely to forget to set the keypair
  - Move the keypair dropdown to the first tab
  - ?

  I'd suggest going with #1 for now to get a simple fix out that doesn't
  introduce new UX considerations, in time for grizzly.
