New EC2 interface

Hi,

I just wrote a short blog about a new EC2 interface that Ian Duffy and Darren Brogan have been working on for course work:

http://buildacloud.org/blog/321-new-ec2-interface-to-cloudstack.html

Once they get their grade for this project we should all be able to send pull requests and if we want merge it in CloudStack code (to be discussed)

I want to bring this to dev@ as this might be a way to offer an improved EC2 interface and deprecate the current awsapi.

Removing awsapi might simplify packaging for 4.5

Cheers,

-Sebastien

Good stuff guys! What was sorely missing from the previous awsapi
interface was tests for compatibility. When I find some time, I'd be
interested to look into putting in a compatibility indicator for this.
