Support the new native YAML format in the CloudFormation API. This means
the existing `template_format` parameter is deprecated. This commit also
adds a warning for the deprecated parameter.
- Don't rewrite the result; this is causing 'changed=true' on update
- Move AWSRetry import to top since it's a decorator, and is needed at definition-time
- removed star-imports, which wasn't possible in Ansible 1.x
- boto doesn't have any of the modern features (most notably, changesets), so this rewrite goes all-in on boto3.
- tags are updateable, at least in boto3. Fix documentation.
- staying with "ansible yaml to json conversion" because I'm trying to keep this scoped properly. The next PR will have AWS-native yaml support.
- documented the output. Tried to leave it backwards-compatible but the changes to 'events' might break someone's flow. However, the existing data wasn't terribly useful so I don't assume it will hurt.
- split up the code into functions. This should make unit testing possible.
- added forward-facing code: 'six' for iterating, started using AWSRetry, common tag conversion.
- add todo list
- Pass `exception` parameter to fail_json
While from the documentation[1] one would assume that replacing
CAPABILITY_IAM with CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM; this as empirically been shown
to not be the case.
1: "If you have IAM resources, you can specify either capability. If you
have IAM resources with custom names, you must specify
CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM."

Since the YAML data format is a subset of JSON, it is trivial to convert
the former to the latter. This means that we can use YAML templates to
build cloudformation stacks, as long as we translate them before passing
them to the AWS API. I figure this could potentially be quite popular in
the Ansible world, since we already use so much YAML for our playbooks.
