handle SES From address verification and requesting production access from Amazon

[aculich]

To send email via AWS SES (Simple Email Service) requires verification:

You can only send email from verified email addresses and domains. If you have not requested production access to Amazon SES, you must also verify every recipient email address except for the recipients provided by the Amazon SES mailbox simulator. For more information, go to the Amazon SES Developer Guide.

The sendcreds.py script currently just prints out the formatted message to the console, but doesn't actually handle sending the email right now since this is another layer of feature to add.

For the moment, if you want to replace the ses.send_email() part with a standard local-SMTP method that you already use, then feel free to update the code since both @paciorek and @BagOfMostlyWater have commit access to this repository.

For the purposes of your course the local-SMTP method is probably simplest and most expedient, however as a general solution SES seems worthwhile to implement at a later time. The other items remaining on the TODO list seem to be a higher priority in my mind, but let me know what you think.

Yes, sounds fine to me. Ryan, I'll probably just write a script that sends
the user password via email using mailx.

That'd work, though if you want it to be part of provision.py you can use
smtplib to send mail through scf.berkeley.edu. Both methods are pretty
simple.

The email sending is decoupled from provisioning.py as a separate script sendcreds.py which is what you'd want to update to get the template functionality to use with smtlib/scf.b.e.
