SpotManager uses non-VPC pricing info to bid on VPC #1

SpotManager pulls pricing information for the "Linux/UNIX" product but then creates bids in VPC. Pricing in EC2 classic is similar but not identical to VPC for any given instance type. The fix is to pull pricing for "Linux/UNIX (Amazon VPC)".

In theory we could support EC2 classic. However, I don't need classic support, and it looks like @klahnakoski doesn't either, so let's skip that for now.
