AWS: launch config remove the image_id lookup

[mzupan]

So this is a strange use case fix.

Every now and then we update the AMI and don't want to tear down instances/ASG that are build on older AMIs done by terraform

If we spin up an instance using aws_instance we can just edit the json state file and terraform honors that since it doesn't query AWS for the currently running AMI.

Launch config queries AWS for the image_id so terraform wants to tear it down and re-build.

I'm trying to make this standard since on #terraform on IRC I was told to just edit the state json if I had to make a AMI change.

If this is needed then close the PR.

Hi @mzupan I believe #2018 will address this use case once it's implemented. Feel free to follow up if you disagree! 👍
