Title: Add support for DescribeInstanceStatus.  Special thanks to @royrapoport for his assistance.

I added a method to EC2Connection and then updated the Instance class to support the new data. I also re-factored one of the helper functions for the Instance class to make it more generic so I could reuse it.
