bootstrap constraints

[John Meinel]

I think his issue is that he can "juju bootstrap --constraints" and then
immediately "juju set-env" to remove the constraints.  But "juju quickstart
--constraints" does a bootstrap and then immediately starts deploying the
services without a way to unset the constraints that don't apply to all
machines.

I do think we've talked about wanting to split the "these are the
constraints for the machine I'm bootstrapping" vs "these are the
constraints for the environment within", but we haven't fully worked
through how we would spell that.
