Add some exception handling for boto/EC2 exceptions #4

Open BigglesZX opened 10 years ago

E.g. selecting a t1.micro instance without EBS storage, or with an EBS that's too small. These exceptions are currently dumped to the shell as stack traces full of XML, which isn't friendly.

Example exception:

boto.exception.EC2ResponseError: EC2ResponseError: 400 Bad Request
