Bug Description

MAAS provides the ability for a system administrator to provide additional configuration to the installer (curtin) by editing files in /etc/maas/preseeds/curtin_userdata (or other paths).

It would be nice to allow the user to also provide config to curtin from the api request.

Some things this would allow:
 a.) user wants to install with --proposed enabled
 b.) user wants to run additional 'in-target' commands

curtin merges config with later config taking precedence over earlier config values.

maas would then call curtin.pack_install with a list of configs:
  [maas_config, user_config]
