Add support for creating change sets #12

More recent versions of the cloudformation api have the 'change set' feature, where the effect of an modification to a template can be reviewed before running it. It would be a nice feature to have added to this plugin.

I have not used change sets. It looks interesting, but I am not sure how can be used from sbt. They have to be managed as separate entities than stacks. Any ideas how to make use of them from a build?

I was imagining modifying a file, running an sbt command to update the change set, perhaps another command to open up that change set's ui page, viewing the results, then either confirming in the ui, or sometime later running another task to submit the change set. I'll experiment with it locally, once the plugin is upgraded to the most recent api versions. I'll be submitting a pr for that shortly.
