Tag Jenkins build slave instances

[Paul Sokolovsky]

Extracted from lp:1045850:

While we're at it, would you please add tags to the slave instances?

Best is Name tag, just like for static instances; at the very least, some tag saying whether ci.linaro.org or android-build.linaro.org launched the build.

Ideally, also tag with the name of the build, albeit that might be trickier.

The idea is to use these tags for billing reports, as to be able to tell how much this or that AWS usage costs us.

ec2 plugin 1.17 also has support for setting tags on instances, but that doesn't seem to work:

tag:Name seems bogus, not sure

Do you mean "tag:Name" string or "test"? "test" is my 2nd attempt at setting name, w/o spaces, etc.

Similar to lp:968130 this is more of wishlist.
