Cluster Health and Cron Improvements

#1096 fixes a bug that would inadvertently terminate good instances in a clusters with more than 100 instances. Thanks @beedub testing and improving how Convox works at large scale.

Cron gets simpler and more secure in #1099 thanks to @ddollar. The periodic Lambda function that runs your cron jobs now has a more explicit IAM role and uses the ECS RunTask API.

Native ECS Services and Bug Fixes

#1081 switches over to the native AWS::ECS::Service CloudFormation handler which gives a few improvements:

• Better swaps during changes that require ECS service replacement
• CloudFormation updates are contingent on the new deployment reaching steady state

This means when you deploy new code apps will now stay in updating state until the new release actually stabilizes and will roll back if it does not.
