If instance has a different DNS/search domain then "metadata" alone won't work. The FQDN of "metadata.google.internal" is included in hosts file, and will work regardless of DNS configuration. Alternatively the IP 169.254.169.254 can be used.
- startup scripts don't run for Windows since it is isn't implemented yet.
- startup scripts use instance metadata instead of serial port output to flag when they are done.
- added licenses to Image data type (to check if an Image is a Windows Image).
- added GetImage and GetImageFromProject to googlecompute Drivers.
- changed some of the builder/googlecompute tests to use github.com/stretchr/testify/assert.
Tests:
- (in the Packer directory) `go test .`, `go test ./builder/googlecompute`, and `go test ./post-processor/googlecompute-export`
- manual run of `packer build packer_template.json` with the following files

- Startup scripts can be provided through the instance creation metadata field 'startup-script'.
- Script log can be copied to a GCS location by setting the metadata field 'startup-script-log-dest'.
Added Retry method to googlecompute package.
Added GetSerialPortOutput to googlecompute Drivers.
Added StepWaitInstanceStartup (and associated test) which waits for an
instance startup-script to finish.
Changed the instance service account to use the same service account as the one provided in the Packer config template. It was the project default service account.
Tested googlecompute package with 'go test' and also performed builds
with a startup script and without a startup script.
