Support heterogeneous clusters #102

Support clusters composed of different (EC2) instance types. This is useful when dealing with occasional instance scarcity. We've seen conditions in which it is difficult to launch a m4.4xlarge, but it's possible to launch a m4.2xlarge.

Perhaps we could allow users to specify an ordered list of instance types to try.
