Title:
  Azure temporary disk not present for instance type

Status in cloud-init:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Cloud Provider: Azure
  Instance type: Dsv4

  The new Dv4, Dsv4, Ev4, and Esv4 instance types don't come with a
  temporary disk at /dev/disk/cloud/azure_resource

  So when I create/reboot one of these new instances I get longer reboot times as cloud-init is waiting 2 minutes for this disk path to appear.
  Looks like the function that looks for the disk is here - https://git.launchpad.net/cloud-init/tree/cloudinit/sources/DataSourceAzure.py?id=93cebe009d116230850c770227e9ead5c490c0d0#n888

  Log snippet:
  ```

  ```

  I've looked in the instance metadata between a Dsv4 and Dsv3 and there
  is nothing to indicate if this temporary disk will be present.

  More than happy to make a patch to look for the instance type and skip
  the call if its not needed.
