TPT-4527: Implemented changes for SLADE and CLEO projects

[ezilber-akamai]

📝 Description

Added new kernel and boot_size fields to Linode Create options. Also made root_pass optional when image is provided (if authorized_keys is provided instead) for Linode creation and rebulding, and Linode Disk creation.

Removed root_pass from returned fields for instance creation, disk creation, and instance rebuilding as root passwords are no longer automatically generated.

✔️ How to Test

make test-unit
make test-int

Pull request overview

This PR updates the Linode create/rebuild/disk-create flows to support SLADE/CLEO requirements by adding kernel and boot_size to instance creation and changing how root_pass is handled when SSH keys are provided.

Changes:

• Add kernel and boot_size fields to LinodeGroup.instance_create.
• Change instance_create, Instance.rebuild, and Instance.disk_create to require at least one of root_pass or authorized_keys, and stop returning generated passwords.
• Update unit tests to pass explicit root_pass and to assert the new return values.

Is it accessible in prod API yet? If so, can we have some integration tests as well?

No API access yet I believe. We have a separate ticket for integration tests once the test plan is complete and we have API access.

LGTM!

FYI: I think the removal of the root password generation would be a breaking change. All good if that's how we want to move forward, just figured I'd call it out 🙂

[ezilber-akamai]

Yeah true, but I think since the purpose of this project is to make passwords optional it would be odd to generate one even when the user intentionally does not provide one.
