Support for Launch Templates

[enderv]

What problem are you facing?

Currently no support for launch template. If added these can be used for either autoscaling groups or EKS node groups.

How could Crossplane help solve your problem?

Implement a managed resource for launch templates

[duncaan]

Would like to see this too, for use with EKS node groups, specifically.

@duncaan Would you be interested in completing the custom parts outlined here if we're able to generate this resource?

I would also like to see this. Currently I need to tag the ec2 instances that get created as part of my node groups, but the only way to do that is to use a launch template

It looks like this isn't even going to be possible until PR #602 gets merged
