[QT-525] enos: use spot instances for Vault targets (#20037)
The previous strategy for provisioning infrastructure targets was to use
the cheapest instances that could reliably perform as Vault cluster
nodes. With this change we introduce a new model for target node
infrastructure. We've replaced on-demand instances for a spot
fleet. While the spot price fluctuates based on dynamic pricing, 
capacity, region, instance type, and platform, cost savings for our
most common combinations range between 20-70%.

This change only includes spot fleet targets for Vault clusters.
We'll be updating our Consul backend bidding in another PR.

* Create a new `vault_cluster` module that handles installation,
  configuration, initializing, and unsealing Vault clusters.
* Create a `target_ec2_instances` module that can provision a group of
  instances on-demand.
* Create a `target_ec2_spot_fleet` module that can bid on a fleet of
  spot instances.
* Extend every Enos scenario to utilize the spot fleet target acquisition
  strategy and the `vault_cluster` module.
* Update our Enos CI modules to handle both the `aws-nuke` permissions
  and also the privileges to provision spot fleets.
* Only use us-east-1 and us-west-2 in our scenario matrices as costs are
  lower than us-west-1.
