Add created datetime to node #698

Instead of the implementation in #697, I'd like to propose this instead.

The problem with #697 is that when you want to find a list of old nodes when you have a list of Node objects, you'd need to write:

old_nodes = [n for n in nodes if n.driver.ex_creation_time(n) > too_old]

Yuk, why is that driver in there? Better would be to write:

old_nodes = [n for n in nodes if n.created > too_old]

I have implemented this code for OpenStack, Digital Ocean and EC2. Other drivers, I have no access to. In those cases, the behaviour is to have created be NoneType.

this is a good addition to the base class. I agree with you @allardhoeve it is a good design. 👍

I would prefer the attribute to be called created_at.

It's also worth noting that this is a backward incompatible change for any place which doesn't use keyword arguments so we need to make sure it doesn't break any of the existing drivers and document it in the upgrade notes.

I could put the new keyword after the extra=None, that way it breaks nothing. But yes, it should be in the Changelog

I agree, this is better than using the driver and passing the node object in 👍

Okey, I changed the field name to created_at and the order of the named arguments. If everyone is on board, I'd like to commit this and revert #697.

👍 from me

* Base Node object has `created_at` which indicates the `datetime` the
  node was launched/started/created.
* EC2, Digital Ocean, OpenStack fill this attribute.
* Nodes at drivers that do not (yet) support it have `NoneType` as date.
* Document changes.
