Title:
  OVF datasource broken

Status in cloud-init:
  Fix Released
Status in cloud-init package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in cloud-init source package in Xenial:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  I am using cloudint 0.7.7~bzr1256-0ubuntu1~16.04.1 on Ubuntu 16.04.1
  LTS.

  When I pass yaml-formatted user-data  over the OVF datasource over the
  ISO transport the yaml string fails to be parsed.

  I tracked this to minidom's inability to handle newlines in an
  attribute. The xml bellow works for coreos but breaks under cloud-
  init:

  <PropertySection>
           <Property oe:key="user-data" oe:value="#cloud-config
  ---
  users:
    - name: "test"
      passwd: "$1$NVdKo9MI$PlHasfYsufCHbP1Hh9TMz/"
      groups:
        - "sudo"
  "/>
  </PropertySection>

  If I use base64-encoded user-data I get this error:

    Sep 01 12:07:43 sof2-lab3-dhcp371 cloud-init[3248]: 2016-09-01 12:07:43,854 - __init__.py[WARNING]: Unhandled non-multipart (text/x-not-multipart) userdata: 'b'I2Nsb3VkLWNvbmZpZwotLS0K'...'
    Sep 01 12:07:43 sof2-lab3-dhcp371 cloud-init[3248]: [CLOUDINIT] __init__.py[WARNING]: Unhandled non-multipart (text/x-not-multipart) userdata: 'b'I2Nsb3VkLWNvbmZpZwotLS0K'...'

  Is there a way to pass user-data as a single-line string that doesn't
  confuse minidom?
