JCLOUDS-450. Adding support for EC2 MaxCount option.
Note - no live test for this, because it's very hard to guarantee a
situation where it would be relevant.
> Support min/max count and client token fields for AWS EC2 RunInstances

> AWS's RunInstances API method
> (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/APIReference/ApiReference-query-RunInstances.html)
> allows for specifying minimum and maximum count - if given, you'll get at
> least the minimum number and no more than the maximum, unless the minimum is
> greater than the number of instances you can launch in that AZ/region (say,
> if you've already got enough instances of a size that's got a per-region
> limit such that creating min count more would push over the limit), in which
> case you don't get any. It'd be nice to support this, both to simplify
> multiple instance creation (rather than X separate calls to RunInstances,
> just one...) and to take advantage of the behavior if you try to launch more
> than you can.
> As well, we should have some form of support for RunInstances' idempotency -
> see
> http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/Run_Instance_Idempotency.html
> - if you pass a client token to the call, each subsequent call with the same
> arguments (including the client token) will return the same response, only
> varying in the HTTP response code. So you can keep making the same call (say,
> with a > 1 min count) until you get a terminating response.
