Unsafe Linux EC2 templates found Warning

This is a warning to prevent Man In Middle attacks when using ec2 agents over ssh. It asks you to change the Host Key Verification Strategy to check-new-hard to guarantee the instance is the right one when establishing a ssh connection. The downside of this strategy is it take agent ~10 minutes to create the ssh connection. There is also a known issue which was encountered in testing https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-62221

For now it is safe to set the strategy to off as that was the state of the previous ec2-plugin version and the ec2 instances are running in a private subnets in a trusted vpc.

To alter the config see the Jcasc example.
