Summary

Depends on D10204. This updates the EC2 allocator to automatically set up and configure SSH on Windows EC2 instances.

It'd be nice in the future to have a "Cygwin mirror" allocator so we don't need to depend on mirrors.kernel.org, but that brings a bunch of questions about how we reasonably serve the mirror to the agents.

Test Plan

Configured an EC2 allocator to lease against a default Amazon Windows AMI with the platform set to "windows". Saw Drydock allocate the lease successfully, with SSH connections working successfully.

40–53	This strategy doesn't work because the installer runs some post-install commands to set everything up and make shared libraries work under Cygwin properly. Without the installer's post-processing, SSH crashes after a user attempts to login. Recommending http://mirror.kernel.org/ as the Cygwin mirror as they appear to have extremely high bandwidth (downloads are almost instant on EC2 instances) and are likely to be recieving a lot of traffic anyway.
