Heat CloudFormation Tools

There are several bootstrap methods for cloudformations:

1. Create image with application ready to go
2. Use cloud-init to run a startup script passed as userdata to the nova server create
3. Use the CloudFormation instance helper scripts

This package contains files required for choice #3.

cfn-init - Reads the AWS::CloudFormation::Init for the instance resource,

installs packages, and starts services

cfn-signal - Waits for an application to be ready before continuing, ie:

supporting the WaitCondition feature

cfn-hup - Handle updates from the UpdateStack CloudFormation API call
