Title:
  Unable to identify CloudStack platform correctly

Status in cloud-init:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Hey!

  With the latest CloudInit on Xenial, I got:

  ```
  **************************************************************************
  # A new feature in cloud-init identified possible datasources for        #
  # this system as:                                                        #
  #   ['Ec2', 'None']                                                      #
  # However, the datasource used was: CloudStack                           #
  #                                                                        #
  # In the future, cloud-init will only attempt to use datasources that    #
  # are identified or specifically configured.                             #

  In the source code, I see the detection script is looking for
  "CloudStack" in DMI. It doesn't find it as it doesn't exist.
  CloudStack runs on a variety of hypervisor. We run it on top of
  QEMU/KVM. I don't think there is an easy way to find out we are
  running CloudStack without contacting the metadata server.

  ```
  /sys/class/dmi/id/product_name:Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996)

  ```

  I would suggest to not display a warning when `datasource_list` is set
  to a unique value, since in this case, there is nothing to try and
  it's likely the unique value is the correct one.
