Title: Allow specifying EC2 instance types besides t1.micro

(See original Issue #7)

Micro instances are intended for "bursty" activity and will be limited in non-specific ways by Amazon. Since many load-test tools (like ab) use lots of CPU, this can prevent getting accurate load testing results.

This commit adds support for overriding the default `t1.micro` instance via a command-line arg.
