Changes related only to GCE roles with XPN feature enabled.

Before

GCE cloud credentials supports XPN feature which allows service projects to access shared VPCs from the host one. If host project is not specified, Scalr searched for shared VPCs across all host projects (Scalr used alpha API that has been dropped recently by GCE).

After

Now user must specify host project to access shared VPCs. To fix cloud credentials users should manually specify the host projects for issued cloud credentials because now farm role management is broken.
