EC2: Turbo mode IBD

Use a c5.2xlarge EC2 instance to speed up Initial Blockchain Download. The result is then pruned and copied to the normal instance. dbcache=40000 should be more than enough (currently needs about 7 GB) maxuploadtarget=10000 although not much upload happens during IBD and the instance only lives for a few hour, this caps upload fees to ~$1 per day just in case.
