Permit "instances" as child of deploymentNode

[erwanosouf]

The dsl for deploymentNode is as follows

deploymentNode <name> [description] [technology] [tags] [instances] {
    ...
}

With "description", "technology" and tags also permitted as children of deploymentNode element, which I personally prefer for readability.

However, the syntax forces to write all elements inline instead of as children in order to be able to specify an instance count.

What I would like to do :

deploymentNode <name> {
     description ""
     technology ""
     tags ""
     instances 42
}

This is not valid with regards to the DSL

Or

deploymentNode <name> 42 {
     description ""
     technology ""
     tags ""
}

This is valid with regards to the DSL but does not produces the expected output (showing the instance count on the deploymentNode).

• An expected output

I've added support for the following:

deploymentNode <name> {
     instances 42
}
