Version 1.0.90, (Git)

* New commands:

 lsaattr   describe-image-attribute
 setaattr  modify-image-attribute

* Implement signature version 4 signing

The signature version 4 signing process is enabled by adding the
following statement in the eclat configuration file:

  signature-version 4;

* If availability region is not supplied, it is read from the instance store.

* Authentication providers

Support for different authentication providers is introduced.
Authentication provider is a service that supplies AWS access key ID and
secret key.  It is configured by the "authentication-provider"
statement in the configuration file.  The syntax is:

  authentication-provider TYPE ARG;

TYPE cane be one of:

- file
Credentials are obtained from a disk file named by the second
argument.  The statement

  authentication-provider file NAME

is equivalent to

  access-file NAME

of eclat 1.0 and prior.  The "access-file" statement is retained for
backward compatibility.

- instance-store
Credentials are obtained from the instance store.  Second argument
supplies the name of the IAM role to use.

* IAM support

If authentication provider is set to "instance-store", its argument
specifies IAM role name.  The authentication credentials are then
taken from the instance store.
