Title: cloudformation : Allow explicit host/endpoint override

Adds argument for explicit host/endpoint override, allows testing with local
heat-api instances

I'm working on https://github.com/heat-api/heat (also see http://heat-api.org) and we are looking into using boto (https://github.com/heat-api/heat/issues/92).

There may be a few more contributions to boto to make this work, but this first simple patch allows the hard-coded AWS region endpoints in CloudFormationConnection to be overridden with a specific hostname.
