Bug description:
  Revision 46cb6716c27d4496ce3d2bea7684803f522f277d regressed behavior
  of util.subp which now no longer accepts a string as the command to
  run.

  To test:

  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
    File "cloudinit/util.py", line 1905, in subp
      cmd=args)
  cloudinit.util.ProcessExecutionError: Unexpected error while running command.
  Command: echo hi mom
  Exit code: 127
  Reason: -
  Stdout:
  Stderr: c: 1: c: e: not found

  # revert commit causing regression
  $ git diff 46cb6716c27d4496ce3d2bea7684803f522f277d 46cb6716c27d4496ce3d2bea7684803f522f277d^ > patch1
  $ patch -p1 < patch1
  patching file cloudinit/util.py
  patching file tests/unittests/test_util.py
  $ python -c 'from cloudinit.util import subp; print(subp("echo hi mom", shell=True))'
  (u'hi mom\n', u'')

  This also caused symptoms like the following Azure failure:
