Add support for configurable timeouts in AWS OpsWorks Instances.

[charles-at-geospock]

We have found that the creation and update of the OpsWorks Instances often
times out with the default 10 minute timeout. This change introduces a
configuration for 'Create', 'Delete' and 'Update' timeouts. The actual
implementation is required to start or stop the instance, which is the
operation which times out, and which of these is performed (particularly
for the 'Update' operation) is dependant on the change needed.

The change introduces the timeouts, adds a simple test that the format
is parsed, and provides documentation for these new parameters.

Code has been tested with AWS and the timeouts appear to be effective.

Yeah, I'm looking at it right now (and for the last couple of hours, whilst I've been looking at how things have changed in the last few days). I've sworn a lot about it, from seeing 'conflicts' (oh, I probably just have to fix up a line or two) to 'new repo, and testing scheme'. Should be up in an hour or so.

I guess I just picked the wrong week to give up glue sniffing submit a PR 😆
