[google compute] Add node stop/start support
GCE now supports node (instance) stop/start. This PR adds the two new
driver methods and supporting tests to include these new features. Note that
these methods only return a boolean, so the node object must be queried again
to get the new status. For example,
```python
>>> node = gce_driver.ex_get_node('foo', 'us-central1-f')
>>> print node.extra['status']
u'RUNNING'
>>> gce_driver.stop_node(node)
>>> node = gce_driver.ex_get_node('foo', 'us-central1-f')
>>> print node.extra['status']
u'TERMINATED'
```
Note that the correct state for a stopped node is TERMINATED.
Upstream docs are at:
https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances#stopping_an_instance

/cc @Kami - I'd like to get this into the next release if you're OK with
that.
