[LIBCLOUD-1002] Instance template support for GCE create_node
## Instance template support for GCE create_node
### Allows Nodes to be created from GCE Instance Templates
This change allows Nodes to be created from predefined Instance Templates
in GCE.
This is useful in a number of scenarios:
* Organizational standards are implemented with Templates.
* etc.
The attributes specified in the call to create_node will take precedence
over those defined in the template (per provider documentation).
#### Provider docs:
