Make --region parameter top level

[vetinari]

Please allow the --region parameter for senza, not only for each sub command ->

senza --region some-where-1 create ...

Actually all commands support the "--region" option, so we could have it on top-level. @vetinari do you have any specific need for it? Using the ~/.aws/config file is anyway the much more convenient way of selecting the AWS region.

Ease of use on the command line :) senza --region some-where-1 list [Enter] [ArrowUp] [Ctrl-W] instances[Enter].
The config file is ok, when you're in just one region

Having it as a top level parameter makes it easier to have an alias with the same name for senza:

alias west='export REGION=eu-west-1'
alias central='export REGION=eu-central-1'
alias senza='senza --region $REGION'

FYI, an easier way to do this (even before) is to just set the AWS_DEFAULT_REGION environment variable.
