Title:
  persisting OpenStack metadata fails

Status in cloud-init:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Persistsing OpenStack metadata may fail.

  OpenStack has an entry named "random_seed" in the metadata [1]. This
  entry is treaded specially in the openstack.py helper when the metadat
  is read [2]. The attempt to decode the read data my result in a string
  that is not utf-8 compliant which eventually results in an error when
  we attempt to persist the metadata as follows:

  2018-11-02 12:14:13,755 - __init__.py[WARNING]: Error persisting
  instance-data.json: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xc8 in position 2:
  invalid continuation byte
