[Bug 945176] Re: Support privateIpAddress and ipAddress

On initial investigation of the given patch, it seemed that this problem
would be fairly easy to solve with a cherry picked patch.

But, this is not so. ipAddress and privateIpAddress were not present in
the default version of the EC2 API that txaws supported in the release
shipped in precise (EC2 API version 2008-12-01).

Passing an EC2 query object which setts the API version at 2009-11-30,
when the attributes were added, does work, but then causes failures in
other areas of txaws which had to be updated for the newer WSDL, such as
changing 'shutdownState' to 'currentState' in terminate_instances.

This is a red flag for me, and I think this has to be either be changed
to a micro release update with a ton of regression testing, or the new
version must be pushed to precise-backports, and anything (like juju)
that wants to take advantage of the new attributes needs to be careful
to only use them if they are available.

Marking the Precise SRU as Won't Fix, and opening a task against
precise-backports, as that is the more conservative approach. We may
decide to go forward with a micro release update if we can come up with
a good testing plan, but it doesn't seem likely.
