Support for the backspace, delete and F1-F12 keys was added in commit 6028a3c.
However, that commit seems to have copied character codes from the vmware
builder into the VirtualBox builder. Character codes are appropriate for VMware
which communicates through a VNC. However, VirtualBox communicates through
simulating raw keyboard input and therefore needs scancodes which are key
press/key release sequences.
This patch converts backspace, delete and F1-F10 to scancodes. F11 and F12 are
not listed in the [scancode reference][scancodes] so they have been omitted.

Add a clean_ami_name template function which will translate illegal
characters in an AMI name to '-'. Example usage would be:
"ami_name": "Ubuntu 12.04 {{isotime | clean_ami_name}}"
/cc @whostolebenfrog - I actually simplified things quite a bit. I added
a "uuid" global template function so it just uses that now. I renamed it
so that it is clear it is a temporary keypair.
Most APIs return "has a pending event" but power off seems to return
"already a pending event". WTF. Also, just wtf at the DigitalOcean API.
I can't wait until they change their english and this breaks. Because
it is definitely going to happen, and it's going to be such a fun time.
