Bug Description

It would be really useful if there was variable substitution in nocloud-net ds config.

I think an example would explain this best.

ds=nocloud-net;s=http://10.10.0.1:8000/$sysserial/

So in the above it would be great if cloud-init converted $sysserial into the systems serial. thus polling the http datasource server for a specific config for that system by serial number.
