Perhaps something like this?  It creates a new "pools" section which is
groups of instances+labels within a provider.  The actual image uploads
are still at the provider level.  It's a bit more complicated, in that
we have to explicitly cross-link the label to the cloud image (the
previous suggestion implicitly did that by being underneath it in the
yaml hierarchy).  It does provide a nice retcon for 'nodepool' though.
