Promote key pair management functionality to be part of the base compute API
This pull request promotes key pair management functionality to be part of
the base compute API as discussed on the mailing list.
It includes the following changes:
* Add new `KeyPair` class in `libcloud.compute.base` module
* Add new key pair management methods to `libcloud.compute.base.NodeDriver`
class
* Update existing drivers which previously exposed this functionality
through the extension methods (EC2, CloudStack, OpenStack) to use a new
standard API
* For backward compatibility reasons and to ease the migration, existing
extension methods will continue to work until a next major release (existing
extension methods have been modified to call new methods which are now part of
the standard API).
* Add some missing tests (while working on this I have noticed there were
some missing or bad tests for the key pair management functionality)
* Update upgrade nodes section in the documentation
* Add a new section on how to use key pair management to the documentation
Only which currently exposes key pair management through extension methods
and I haven't updated is NephoScale. The reason for that is that NephoScale
offers two types of keys (password and ssh) and I haven't totally decided yet
what I want to do with it.

Update existing compute drivers (OpenStack, CloudStack, EC2) which expose
key
pair management through the extension methods to expose it through a new
standard key pair management API.
Also update affected code and tests, deprecate existing extension methods
and
add some missing tests.
Note: Old and now deprecated methods will work until a next major release.
