Xin LI 592b450ab9 sysutils/py-google-compute-engine: revive port
This reverts commit 5a7ff5102154b08055c37868810192a9dca8044b and uses
www/py-boto3 instead of the removed devel/py-boto, and releng-gce@
assumes maintainership.

This is meant to be a temporary measure as we are exploring alternatives
for GCE support.

Google Compute Engine offers scripts and daemons which run in the
background and provides the following services:
- Accounts daemon to setup and manage user accounts, and to enable SSH key based
authentication.
- Clock skew daemon to keep the system clock in sync after VM start and stop
events.
- Instance setup scripts to execute VM configuration scripts during boot.
- IP forwarding daemon that integrates network load balancing with forwarding
rule changes into the guest.
- Metadata scripts to run user provided scripts at VM startup and shutdown.
- Network setup service to enable multiple network interfaces on boot.
