Title: Added EC2 instance type number of cores.

Again a not entirely straight forward one:
* there are both instance types with physical and with virtual cores
* the _hi1.4xlarge_ instance type seems to be the only one with hyper threading enabled

While one could try to cover all this with up to three fields eventually (e.g. _cpus_, _cores_, _hyper_treading_), I've covered all three variations within a single field _cores_ instead, assuming this being a reasonable common denominator, both from a software development as well as a generic virtualized environment point of view.

This is sufficient for me right now like so, suggestions/improvements welcome of course.
