Title:
  setting up system proxy via cloud-config might be nice

Status in cloud-init:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  as seen in bug 1089389 it might be nice to set system wide proxy information. There seems to be reasonable explanation of how you'd do that at [1].
  Config could look like:

  system_proxy:
   http_proxy: http://foo.bar:3128
   https_proxy: https://foo.host:3128
   ftp_proxy: ...
   no_proxy: ...

  cloud-init would/should take just the lower case and write
  /etc/environment correctly.

  Some tricky things here:
   a.) cloud-init should then adjust its own environment to use these settings (and subprocesses)
   b.) what about the datasource? ie, should  / would access to http://169.254.169.254 be proxied?
