Feature Request: Support for accelerator-optimized machine family (e.g. a2-highgpu-1g)

[teddyking]

Hi there,

I'm looking to get support for the accelerator-optimized machine family added into the CPI to allow for creation of VMs with GPUs.

I've been poking around and have managed to get a machine type of a2-highgpu-1g working*. I had to update this logic to account for the fact that accelerator-optimized machine names follow a different format to n* / custom. I pushed that to a fork here.

I'm happy to work on a proper PR if this is something that has potential to be merged?

* Note: These machine types with large GPUs require noble stemcells with EFI support

Yes, we could accept such a change and will be happy to review a pr.
