Initial WIP on documenting options for AWS clusters

Very incomplete, but a start.

# AWS specific configuration options
These options can be set as environment variables to customize how your cluster is created. Only options
specific to AWS are documented in this file, for cross-provider options see TODO:global-options-doc.
This is a work-in-progress; not all options are documented yet!
## AWS_IMAGE
The AMI to use. If not specified, the image will be selected based on the AWS region.
## AWS_S3_BUCKET, AWS_S3_REGION
The bucket name to use, and the region where the bucket should be created, or where the bucket is located if it exists already.
If not specified, defaults to AWS_S3_REGION us-east-1, because buckets are globally named and you probably
want to share a bucket across all regions; us-east-1 is a sensible (relatively arbitrary) default.
AWS_S3_BUCKET will default to a uniquely generated name, so you won't collide with other kubernetes users.
(Currently this uses the hash of your AWS Access key to produce a per-user unique value).
It is not a bad idea to set AWS_S3_BUCKET to something more human friendly.
AWS_S3_REGION is useful for people that want to control their data location, because of regulatory restrictions for example.
