Region Copy: -g and -d options to tag and initiate region copies

-g tested with new backups using:

bash ec2-automate-backup.sh -v 'vol-8a1a43f6 vol-2a78d459' -g 'us-west-1 us-west-2' -n

-d tested with various options and repeated calls to test
idempotent copies:

bash ec2-automate-backup.sh -s regioncopy -d 'us-west-1'
bash ec2-automate-backup.sh -s regioncopy -d 'us-west-1'
bash ec2-automate-backup.sh -s regioncopy -d 'us-west-1 us-west-2'
bash ec2-automate-backup.sh -s regioncopy -d 'us-west-2'

etc.
