Ansible Role: AWS CloudWatch Agent

Support for multiple CW configs

Hello! Currently this module only support one big CWA configuration passed through the cwa_config_map parameter. This is then expanded in a JSON put in etc/ directory of the CWA installation and it's also "validated" with

/opt/aws/amazon-cloudwatch-agent/bin/amazon-cloudwatch-agent-ctl
      -a fetch-config -c file:%s -m {{ cwa_mode }}

But the fetch-config commanddoesn't just validate the file. it actually reads the configuration file passed to it (where the%sname is expanded asstreamby Ansible) and creates a **new file** insideetc/amazon-cloudwatch-agent.d/calledfile_streamand merges it with the basic config fileetc/amazon-cloudwatch-agent.json` (which at this point have the same content).

If you don't mind I would like to open a PR that takes full advantage of the etc/amazon-cloudwatch-agent.d/ directory and the conf automerging capabilities of CWA so you can pass several maps to the Ansible role and it will create a file for each of the passed maps.
