Title:
  cmd: cloud-init query fails for juju units with UnicodeDecodeError

Status in cloud-init:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  sudo cloud-init query --all fails on juju deployed units with the following trace:
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/bin/cloud-init", line 11, in <module>
      load_entry_point('cloud-init==20.2', 'console_scripts', 'cloud-init')()
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/cloudinit/cmd/main.py", line 893, in main
      get_uptime=True, func=functor, args=(name, args))
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/cloudinit/util.py", line 2620, in log_time
      ret = func(*args, **kwargs)
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/cloudinit/cmd/query.py", line 123, in handle_args
      instance_data['userdata'] = util.load_file(user_data_fn)
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/cloudinit/util.py", line 1432, in load_file
      return decode_binary(contents)
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/cloudinit/util.py", line 132, in decode_binary
      return blob.decode(encoding)
  UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x8b in position 1: invalid start byte


  On some platforms (juju deployed instances and various openstack
  platforms), user-data is compressed when provided to the instance.

  When deploying juju units in ec2 regions, user-data provided to the
  instance is gzip compressed.

  The cloud-init query command attempts to load, decode and read raw
  userdata content from /var/lib/cloud/instance/user-data.txt. In cases
  where the user-data is gzip compressed, decoding fails.
