Open Stack

I'm considering adding a function which takes a list and returns the first
non-null, non-empty value in that list.

So you could do EG:

    some_thing:
        config:
            ControlVIP:
                first_nonnull:
                - {get_param: ControlVIP}
                - {get_attr: [ControlVirtualIP, fixed_ips, 0, ip_address]}]}

I'm open to other names, EG "some", "or", "fallback_list" etc.

Steve Hardy suggested building this into get_attr or Fn::Select. My feeling
is that those each do one job well right now, I'm happy to take a steer
though.

What do you think please?
