Use AWS marketplace to provide GEOS-Chem AMI #7

Instead of using my personal AMI with little metadata, we should use AWS marketplace to share the official GEOS-Chem AMI. It will provide better version control and a more official user interface. We will definitely NOT charge the software. That AMI probably needs to be managed by an official Harvard ACMG account (can we use the same account for #2 ?). Also need to solve #1 first.

Good references are:

OpenFOAM AMI for CFD: https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B017AHYO16
Deep learning AMI: https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B077GCH38C

Decided not to use marketplace.

I found that AMIs that are derived marketplace AMIs cannot be shared with the public. One example is the CentOS AMI. Don't want to add this restriction to our AMI.
