Bug Description

Follow up from LP:1201503:

For ec2 ebs instances, which we default to using, the root disk size defaults to 8G but you can specify a custom root disk size via block device mapping. refs:
 - http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/block-device-mapping-concepts.html
 - http://alestic.com/2009/12/ec2-ebs-boot-resize

Example:

  ec2-run-instances --key KEYPAIR --block-device-mapping /dev/sda1=:100 AMI

... creates an instance that boots with a created on-demand 100G ebs which gets thrown away when the instance is terminated. We'll need to implement passing the block device mapping in the goamz run instance api call to expose this.
