Add support for new NLB

[AncientCulture]

Hi,

AWS ec2 has a new LB, the network load balancer (NLB). It is a replacement for the previous ELB. AWS recommends using the old ELB primary for AWS ec2-classic envs.

As the NLB works similar as the ALB (listener, target groups) and shares API calls implementation might be quick feasible.

Here the block post:

aws-go-sdk added support in version 1.10.40, which is alreadythe current version in vendor directory.

Cheers and thanks,
Nils

oh and to be consistent the "old" elb may need to be renamed to CLB (classic load balancer) as this is the new name in AWS

@AncientCulture this is being taken care of in #1629

FWIW, classic load balancer is known as ELB in Terraform. Application load balancers were known as ALB but I have renamed those to load balancers as they can be either application or network
