ECR waitFor implementation

[rclark]

I would like to be able to waitFor an image to exist in ECR, similarly to how you can waitFor a file to exist on S3. Is this possible or does it require a service-specific implementation?

In my use-case, both represent me waiting on CI services -- one that builds .zip bundles for Lambda functions, and another that builds docker images for ECS tasks.

Another example of a place where .waitFor would be welcome would be to poll Athena's getQueryExecution method until the Status property indicates the execution has completed.

I'd appreciate some clarification on what the inherited .waitFor function can/should be used for, and if it can help me with either the Athena or ECR use-cases I've outlined.

Checking in — there is an ImageExists waiter for EC2, but you don't create images with ECR so there's no waiter for that: https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/services/ecr.html#waiters. There's another request to add waiters for Athena: #80. I know this issue is quite old so want to check in for any clarifications.
