Image provisoning over API doesn't start host automatically
Description
Foreman 1.8rc3
Debian Wheezy
curl -s -X $METHOD -H "Accept:application/json" -H "Content-Type:application/json" \
-k -u $USER:$PASS \
-d '{"host":"name":"test1","hostgroup_id":"1","operatingsystem_id":"1","image_id":"1","compute_resource_id":"1","compute_profile_id":"1","provision_method":"image","subnet_id":"1","compute_attributes":{ "start":"1","vm_attrs":{ "cpus":"4"}}}}' \
$FOREMAN_URL/api/v2/hosts | json_pp
The machine is created through libvirt provider but the virtual machine doesnt have a filesystem with content in it so it just says "No boot device" in the console. If i drop the compute_attributes and just power up the machine manually it all works..except i have to manually power up the machine after the api call (which waits for the machine to come up)
debug put up at:

After alot of debugging and retrying i got to build a host correctly with image through the api with autostart of the virtual machine in libvirt.
If you touch compute_attributes you have to complete the whole block with more data to get it done correctly.
Attaching example for other users having issues with this:
curl -s -X POST -H "Accept:application/json" -H "Content-Type:application/json" \
-k -u $USER:$PASS \
-d \

I have this exact same problem. It would be great if we could use "start":"1" without explicitly setting the rest of the compute_attributes. These should already be set through the compute profile and shouldn't have to be set again when posting to the api.

- Subject changed from Do not get image provision to work over api to Image provisoning over API doesn't start host automatically
Regarding compute attributes, the fix in #6342 to merge attributes supplied in the API with those from the compute profile is now available in Foreman 1.11. This means you can now pass just {"compute_attributes":{"start":"1"}} without needing to duplicate the rest.
Leaving this open because host creation over the API should still start the VM automatically like the UI default.
