Description

The DigitalOcean v1 (and v2) API returns a "slug" for each location.

This is a short, human readable, code for each location which is stable and suitable for use in eg configuration files.

It'd be useful if ``list_locations`` made this information available.

{u'regions': [{u'id': 3, u'name': u'San Francisco 1', u'slug': u'sfo1'},
  {u'id': 4, u'name': u'New York 2', u'slug': u'nyc2'},
  {u'id': 5, u'name': u'Amsterdam 2', u'slug': u'ams2'},
  {u'id': 6, u'name': u'Singapore 1', u'slug': u'sgp1'},
  {u'id': 7, u'name': u'London 1', u'slug': u'lon1'},
  {u'id': 8, u'name': u'New York 3', u'slug': u'nyc3'},
  {u'id': 9, u'name': u'Amsterdam 3', u'slug': u'ams3'}],
 u'status': u'OK'}

See https://github.com/ClusterHQ/flocker/commit/1d25c290e770451026cd7b72a2c1838f18e2ecf0 for an example of how this might be used.
