make create-site return earlier about confetti HOT 5 CLOSED

There are no outputs at all available before cloudformation finishes. 😞

Another option could be splitting the create-site task into two pieces. One task creates the stack and puts a stack-id.edn file next to build.boot. Another task can then scan the root dir for these files and give a status report about the stack creation process. The second task can optionally block until stack creation is completed.

When a stack is fully created the second task should save all relevant information to another EDN file.

I would suggest to print warning in the beginning of the task that it will take around 15 mins to create everything. In that way people would have right expectations

A warning about the 15 min is in place, there now also is a task to fetch the stack outputs at a later point in time: c7dc64a

Running boot fetch-outputs will retrieve the stack outputs for all .confetti.edn files found in the current working directory that do not have a :cloudfront-url key.

So the gist is create-site does not return earlier but there's an easy way out provided if it happens to take too long.
