Title: KERN-2267 create initial CloudFormation template for an OAE cluster

This is a single JSON-formatted text file that I'm dropping in the tools directory to help anyone who wants to get an OAE cluster up and running fast for testing purposes.

What it does:
Using Amazon CloudFormation, creates a load balancer, two application nodes, a MySQL server, a notification channel, and several alarms (high CPU, low disk, etc.)

Provisions the application servers with NFS, a nakamura jar, and basic configuration (creates ServerProtectionServiceImpl and JDBCStoragePool files).

What it doesn't do yet:
There is no solr replication, so the search indexes on the two app servers are independent.
The cluster caches are not replicated, which means that they effectively don't do anything.
