Title:
  Fail to get http openstack metadata if the Linux instance runs on
  Hyper-V

Bug description:
  Because of the commit that introduced platform checks for enabling /
  using http openstack metadata (https://github.com/canonical/cloud-
  init/commit/1efa8a0a030794cec68197100f31a856d0d264ab), cloud-init on
  Linux machines will stop loading http metadata when running on
  "unsupported" platforms / hypervisors like Hyper-V, XEN, OracleCloud,
  VMware, OpenTelekomCloud - leading to a whole suite of bug reports and
  fixes to a non-issue.

  Let's try to solve this problem once for all the upcoming platforms /
  hypervisors by adding a configuration option on the metadata level:
  perform_platform_check or check_if_platform_is_supported (suggestions
  are welcome for the naming). The value of the config option should be
  true in order to maintain backwards compatibility. When set to true,
  cloud-init will check if the platform is supported.

  No one would like to patch well-working OpenStack environments for
  this kind of issues and it is always easier to control / build the
  images you use on private OpenStack.
