Adds us-gov-west-1 aws ec2 region to cloud library
Formation, Format, and Constiency

There should be a period after "Various release-X.Y branches exist for previous releases". It should read "Various release-X.Y branches exist for previous releases." This should keep the Branch Info listings consistent.

This changes the get-attr function slightly, and lets the module specify whether a param is needed and auto-fails if it is not present. A module can now verify params like so::
 $params = Parse-Args $args;
 $result = New-Object psobject;
 Set-Attr $result "changed" $false;
 $path = Get-Attr -obj $params -name path -failifempty $true -resultobj $result

or

$params = Parse-Args $args;
 $result = New-Object psobject;
 Set-Attr $result "changed" $false;
 $path = Get-Attr -obj $params -name path -failifempty $true -emptyattributefailmessage "Oh man. You forgot the main part!" -resultobj $result

slight tweak in how the powershell module converts to json in order to support nested objects (allows for more complex facts, among others)

This script gathers some extended facts on windows hosts in a json array attribute called "ansible_interfaces". This info is needed for some network-related modules I'm working on. Required the update to powershell.ps1 to return deeply nested json objects.

Revised additions to windows facts
Add tests for new windows facts.
RDS rewrite to use boto.rds and boto.rds2

Using rds2 allows tags and the control over whether or not DBs are
publicly accessible.
Move RDS towards a pair of interfaces implementing the details of rds
and rds2
Added tests to ensure that all operations work correctly as well as
requirements files that allow virtualenvs to test either boto.rds or
boto.rds2
