Subject: [PATCH] Allow spot instances to be used (#36)

* Allow spot instances to be used

An optional variable `spot_bid_price` has been added, which will allow
spot instances to be used for the ECS cluster.  When not specified (the
default), standard on-demand instances will still be used.

* Formatted files
