emm...I see the new name servers are appended to the current name
servers list. https://github.com/canonical/cloud-
init/blob/master/cloudinit/distros/parsers/resolv_conf.py#L79

So the new name servers are always in the tail, if there are already 3
current name servers exist, then any new name servers will be discarded.

In our scenario, new name servers sent to cloud-init by OVF datasource,
but the result is inconsistent, depends on how many name servers exist
before power-on.

If change the implementation to append the current name servers to the
new name servers, then the current name servers are in the tail, then
keep the first 3 of the list. In such way, new name servers can be
always set.
