The openvm templates all come with the password script and cloud-ini, but they 
are primarily tested on KVM, would love feedback from other HVs.

Re interest in self-resizable stuff, the main explanation/excuse for it around 
here is that that's now how AWS and other big clouds do it.
Until 4.4 we were struggling as well with multiple templates; see my initial 
issue https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-6181

I can't thank Marcus, Wido and Mike enough for this. Thanks guys! :)
