Add images for 12.04

[Māris Fogels]

AWSTrial should be updated to support the 12.04 Server LTS release.

I suspect these images will arrive Tuesday or Wednesday.
I'll paste the AMI ids here.

Baring an emergency respin, we will be releaing with the following image ID's. The AWSTrial AWS account has been granted access to the images.

NOTE: Images are private until the official release and the following is _NOT_ an authoritative list. For the official AMI's see http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/release/precise/release on release day.

Matt, Maris,
  The ami ids that you are after are probably named "ubuntu-precise-12.04-i386-server-20120424".
  ami-12c77713 ap-northeast-1
  ami-88ca8dda ap-southeast-1
  ami-25e8d351 eu-west-1
  ami-b89842d1 us-east-1
  ami-d5712a90 us-west-1
  ami-cc870bfc us-west-2
  ami-9cd80681 sa-east-1

I'm fairly sure that try.cloud.ubuntu.com is using i386 instances and running m1.small instance sizes. A few months ago, amazon started allowing users to run amd64 images on m1.small. Since amd64 is basically a strict superset of functionality, we may want to start using that.

I'd definitely suggest some test before switching, but basically, I would think that to use amd64 images, you could simply just use 'ubuntu-precise-12.04-amd64-server-20120424':

I've also just realized that you need to update the AMI-ids for hte oneiric images that are being launched, to address the pending move to S3 mirrors (and fixing apt http pipelining : https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-cloud/2012-April/000752.html )
