Bug #8164: CloudPack should have an action to write settings to a configuration 
file

# Overview #

While interacting with the cloud pack actions, many mandatory CLI options are 
repetitive from run to run and do not change.  For example, the AMI image to 
use, the platform of 'AWS', and the name of the SSH key to use.

As an end user, it would be nice to have these files stored persistently so 
they do not need to be entered into the CLI each time I run cloud pack.  This 
is #8163

If #8163 is accepted, it would be nice to not have to edit the configuration 
file by hand and instead use the CLI interface to store these settings.

For example:

    puppet node config --keyname 'jeff_initial'
    puppet node config --platform AWS
    puppet node config --type m1.small
    puppet node config --image ami-90f607f9
    puppet node config --aws_access_key_id DEADBEEFCAFE
    puppet node config --aws_secret_access_key somestuff/andsomeotherstuff

These configuration options would be a "one time" thing rather than required 
each and every invocation of a cloud pack action as is the current state.

The end user then simply needs to execute:

    puppet node create
    puppet node install
    puppet node ...
