salt: Metadata Server Grains (metadata_server_grains) doesn't work in Google anymore
Description of Issue/Question
Google Instances don’t respond to http://169.254.169.254/latest anymore. It was likely an endpoint they had for compatibility until they built out their own system.
Setup
metadata_server_grains: True
Steps to Reproduce Issue
Load up a Google Compute Instance (GCE) with custom metadata and check the URL http://169.254.169.254/latest for that data.
The new URL that is needed is http://metadata.google.internal/computeMetadata/v1/instance/attributes/ (direct to IP also works http://169.254.169.254/computeMetadata/v1/instance/attributes/) and it requires the header Metadata-Flavor: Google

@sagetherage Thanks for reopening this. Looking forward to Stalebot being replaced with something that works.
