Add support for the Outscale cloud platform.

Outscale provides an AWS-compatible metadata service at
http://169.254.169.254/latest/ with no IMDSv2 requirement.
The provider fetches the Ignition config from the instance
user-data endpoint.

The provider follows the same pattern as other simple
providers (Hetzner, Vultr, Exoscale).

Tested on an Outscale VM — the metadata service responds
correctly to both /latest/meta-data/ and /latest/user-data
endpoints.

No additional retry handling is required. FetchToBuffer already retries transport failures and all HTTP 5xx responses. The provider intentionally accepts 404 as missing user data.

Rebased this onto current main to clear the CI failures, which were both stale-branch artifacts rather than anything in
the provider itself:

• tmt-tests was running the old workflow with -vvvv, which tmt rejects (main since #2317 uses -vvv). Re-running from
current main fixes it.
• The Jenkins failure was from August against a much older base. Everything it covered (build, unit tests, docs,
blackbox compile) passed; whatever died in the kola stage was on the old tree.

Two small things got changed during the rebase:

• The release notes entry landed inside the now-released 2.27.0 section on the rebase, so I moved it up to the 2.27/2.28
unreleased Features block (and linked this PR). No content change.
• Kept your otherwise-fine commit as a single commit, authored as you.

Also re-checked the empty-userdata question CodeRabbit raised: config.Parse returns ErrEmpty there and the engine
explicitly continues with an empty config (internal/exec/engine.go), which is the same path every other simple provider
(Hetzner, Vultr, Exoscale) relies on. So no behavior change needed for that.
