v4.0.0-beta1

First beta of Isaac Automator v4

• New image-aws command builds pre-built AWS AMIs with Packer; deploying with --from-image skips installation and configuration steps, significantly speeding up provisioning
• AMI naming is aligned between Packer and Terraform using isaacautomator.isaacworkstation prefix, with current date as default AMI name
• Terraform state path handling is now fixed with local backend blocks in all configs, and deprecated -state flag is replaced with -backend-config
