[SPARK-3398] [EC2] Have spark-ec2 intelligently wait for specific cluster states Instead of waiting arbitrary amounts of time for the cluster to reach a specific state, this patch lets `spark-ec2` explicitly wait for a cluster to reach a desired state. This is useful in a couple of situations: * The cluster is launching and you want to wait until SSH is available before installing stuff. * The cluster is being terminated and you want to wait until all the instances are terminated before trying to delete security groups. This patch removes the need for the `--wait` option and removes some of the time-based retry logic that was being used.
