Build image configuration files

AWS ParallelCluster version 3 uses YAML 1.1 files for build image configuration parameters. Please confirm that indentation is correct to reduce configuration errors. For more information, see the YAML 1.1 spec at https://yaml.org/spec/1.1/.

These configuration files are used to define how your custom AWS ParallelCluster AMIs are built using EC2 Image Builder. Custom AMI building processes are triggered using the pcluster build-image command. For some example configuration files, see https://github.com/aws/aws-parallelcluster/tree/release-3.0/cli/tests/pcluster/schemas/test_imagebuilder_schema/test_imagebuilder_schema.
