Title:
  Invalid runcmd script format makes it ignored without marking cloud
  init as failed

Status in cloud-init:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Info :
  - cloud-init version `/usr/bin/cloud-init 19.2-36-g059d049c-0ubuntu2~16.04.1`

  Issue:

  If user-data script contains a malformed runcmd script, cloud-init
  fails to parse it but do not mark cloud-init as failed.

  Example:

  ```
  runcmd:
  - echo "begin runcmd"
  - # empty
  - echo "end"
  ```

  The second line is empty, and causes the following warning in
  `/var/log/cloud-init.log`:

  ```

  ```

  
  There is no error log in `/var/log/cloud-init-output.log`

  But cloud-init status is "done"

  I expect the status to be "error"
