Use cached IP for google driver
`GetIP` gets called every time `GetSSHHostname` is called which is called to run every ssh command to the machine. `GetIP` is sending a request to the API every time we request it. Check if the in-memory IP is available before sending a request to the API, and save it at the end as well if it's not present. Adding tests is quite difficult here since the client for accessing the Google API is created within `GetIP` so it's not something that can be mocked easily. To make it testable we require a lot of changes to the google driver which will be riskier the not adding tests. Below are some metrics on how many times we used to call the API for the IP address when creating and removing a machine: **Before Patch:** Number of `GetIP` Calls: 21 Number of `Instance.Get` Calls: 21 **After Patch:** Number of `GetIP` Calls: 21 Number of `Instance.Get` Calls: 1
