Add Support for Deployments using SSH Keys
------------------------------------------

                 Key: LIBCLOUD-42
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LIBCLOUD-42
             Project: Libcloud
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core
            Reporter: Russell Haering


There is currently no support for deploying nodes using pre-install ssh keys as 
is required, for example, by EC2. In my github fork[1] I have added basic 
support for this (I'll attach a diff as well).

An EC2 deployment using this patch looks something like this:

deploy_node(Provider.EC2_US_EAST, name=name, image=image, size=size,
            deploy=deployment, ex_keyname='foo', ssh_key='foo.pem')

My main concerns are that I'm not sure if passing the path to the private key 
is entirely consistent with existing conventions, and this will break if 
someone passes in a NodeAuthSSHKey (although that was true before as well).
