Use some other solution than EFS for storing saves and server configs #3

We could get rid of the EC2 instances and move to Fargate if a solution other than EFS is implemented (currently Fargate does not support EFS mounts).

Copying and restoring saves from S3 on instance shutdown / boot would be nice.

EFS support now exists for ECS and Fargate

Fargate EFS support was still missing from Cloudformation until yesterday, I refactored this to use Fargate now.

EFS still isn't a great solution for this though, since accessing it from outside the container to upload existing saves etc. is not trivial.

Using something like this https://github.com/mroote/factorio-server-manager instead of a raw factorio server image would make managing things easy without the need to have direct access to the filesystem, in which case EFS would work just fine.
