Setup automated deployment

[tschaffter]

Limitation of the current solution:

• Requires manual deployment (ssh to EC2 + update + deploy)
• Only one instance (test.challenge-registry.org)
• Only one person knows how to deploy (me)

Goal

• Setup updated deployment to 2-3 instances: (development), testing/staging, production.
• Deployment should be triggered from GitHub for the sake of simplicity + deployment permissions controlled via GitHub.
