Title:
  [SRU] GCE datasource reports availability zones incorrectly

Status in cloud-init:
  In Progress
Status in cloud-init package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in cloud-init source package in Precise:
  Fix Released
Status in cloud-init source package in Trusty:
  Fix Released
Status in cloud-init source package in Vivid:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Availability zones and regions on GCE cannot be used for mirror substitution, making in-cloud mirrors impossible.

  [Test Case]
  Run the following Python code on trusty and later:

  from cloudinit.sources.DataSourceGCE import DataSourceGCE
  ds = DataSourceGCE({}, None, None)
  ds.get_data()
  ds.availability_zone

  Or the following code on precise:

  from cloudinit.DataSourceGCE import DataSourceGCE
  ds = DataSourceGCE({})
  ds.get_data()
  ds.get_availability_zone()

  and confirm that the availability zone is returned (rather than a
  relative URL).

  [Regression Potential]
  This is completely broken at the moment, so it can't get any more broken.

  [Original Report]
  After querying the cloud fabric, DataSourceGCE will return something along the lines of "projects/969378662406/zones/europe-west1-d" as its availability_zone.

  This means that other parts of the code that expect a sensible value
  for this (most notably the mirror discovery code), are broken on GCE.
