euca-run-instances does not correctly validate parameters

[C de-Avillez]

cempedak:~$ euca-run-instances -k mykey emi-DFE41074 -t c1.medium -n 8--group more8
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/euca-run-instances", line 198, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/bin/euca-run-instances", line 139, in main
    max_count = int(counts[1])
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''
cempedak:~$

This is a clear user error: '-n 8--group more8'. Code is expecting an integer, and got '8--group'. Nevertheless, we should not fail with an exception.

Probably WishList, at most Low.
