AWS provides a single `BlockDeviceMapping` to manage three different
kinds of block devices:
(a) The root volume
(b) Ephemeral storage
(c) Additional EBS volumes
Each of these types has slightly different semantics [1].
(a) The root volume is defined by the AMI; it can only be customized
with `volume_size`, `volume_type`, and `delete_on_termination`.
(b) Ephemeral storage is made available based on instance type [2]. It's
attached automatically if _no_ block device mappings are specified, and
must otherwise be defined with block device mapping entries that contain
only DeviceName set to a device like "/dev/sdX" and VirtualName set to
"ephemeralN".
(c) Additional EBS volumes are controlled by mappings that omit
`virtual_name` and can specify `volume_size`, `volume_type`,
`delete_on_termination`, `snapshot_id`, and `encryption`.
After deciding to ignore root block devices to fix#859, we had users
with configurations that were attempting to manage the root block device chime
in on #913.
Terraform does not have the primitives to be able to properly handle a
single collection of resources that is partially managed and partially
computed, so our strategy here is to break out logical sub-resources for
Terraform and hide the BlockDeviceMapping inside the provider
implementation.
Now (a) is supported by the `root_block_device` sub-resource, and (b)
and (c) are still both merged together under `block_device`, though I
have yet to see ephemeral block devices working properly.
Looking into possibly separating out `ephemeral_block_device` and
`ebs_block_device` sub-resources as well, which seem like the logical
next step. We'll wait until the next big release for this, though, since
it will break backcompat.

Previous to this commit, the Chainable class which is responsible for
iterating on the sequence of events in the intro Terraform animation,
was using setTimeout and thus could result in very messed up race
conditions when triggering physics changes.
This commit attaches the .wait timers to the Engine.render loop which
should enable everything to stay in sync.
This is necessary to support creating parameter groups with parameters
that require a reboot, since the RDS API will return an error when
attempting to set those parameters with ApplyMethod "immediate".
