Revamped EMR scripts using pre-built binaries

This should spin up a cluster within 4-5 minutes assuming m3.xlarge VMs. Also, the README.md file has been updated (specifically the permissions section).

Wow - this is very very nice!! So it is possible!

Our plan with this repo will be to provide several options for getting up with EMR. Could we put this in a new directory, called emr-2.4.2-prebuilt, and put your updated README inside there? We will move the main README.md (in it's previous state) into emr-2.4.2, and the main repo README can be a general message about the options and to go to the directories for more (see what Ashrith did with install-whirr). This will be particularly necessary because Ralph needs to use the scripts in their previous state for setting up a cluster for training.

I can take care of all of this if you'd like by picking from your fork, or you can put into the new directory and send a new PR. Let me know which you would prefer.

I'll try the latter approach, i.e. like install-whirr. I could do with some
git practice.
