Machine init --provider

Browse Source 
Add the ability for users to override the default provider when creating mahcines.  The new flag is `--provider` and allows you to specifiy a valid vmtype for the platform.  This PR also removes the previous list test where we tested listing all providers.  I added a PR for testing --provider which includes a standard `machine ls` which defaults now to showing all providers.
