Bug description:
  SRU Justification

  [IMPACT] Cloud-init overrides the hostname each boot with the fabric
  provided name. Users expect that the hostname will not be reset each
  boot.

  [Test Case 1] Upgrade from proposed
  1. Install cloud-init from proposed
  2. Change the hostname via /etc/hostname
  3. Reboot
  4. Confirm that the new hostname is used

  [Test Case 2] Reprovision
  (Follow Test Case 1)
  1. Capture Azure VM
  2. Start captured VM
  3. Confirm that the new fabric name is used

  [Test Case 3] New Image Launch
  1. Build an Azure image from -proposed
  2. Boot and confirm that hostname is set properly
  3. Follow test case 1
  4. Follow test case 2

  [Regression Potential] As this is a backport of the 15.10 Datasource,
  there is a medium regression potential. The 15.10 Datasource fixes a
  number of Azure provisioning bugs and is thus desirable.

  [ORIGINAL REPORT]

  Whilst a hostname change is immediately effective using the hostname
  or hostnamectl commands, and changing the hostname this way is
  propagated to the hostname field in the Azure dashboard, upon
  rebooting the Ubuntu VM the hostname reverts to the Virtual Machine
  name as displayed in the Azure dashboard.
