Public bug reported:

On systems without dmidecode and where the dmi key is not present,
cloud-init will print this warning:

LOG.warning("did not find either path %s or dmidecode command",
                DMI_SYS_PATH)

Which looks strange since the system does have /sys/class/dmi/id but
just did not find the requested key.

This is due to _read_dmi_syspath returning None and which('dmidecode')
returning None.

Ideally we'd indicate that we couldn't read the specified key separately
from the case where the system doesn't have /sys/class/dmi/id.

** Affects: cloud-init
     Importance: Low
         Status: Confirmed
