Lazy entry
## Introduce a convenience method to the libcloud module for getting drivers
### Description
I find the current mechanism for fetching drivers a little cumbersome, 2
namespaces to import. After using the `requests` library I really like the
module `__init__` accessors for common attributes. The most common factory is
`get_driver` and the most common enum is the Provider enum.
This code allows for this example:
```python
import libcloud
cls = libcloud.get_driver(libcloud.DriverType.COMPUTE,
libcloud.DriverType.COMPUTE.RACKSPACE)
```
