simple updates...

* .gitignore - don't ignore whole dirs and then opt-in specific files
* Makefile
- fail if required vars aren't set
- SCRIPTS --> ALL_SCRIPTS
* profiles/README.md
- variables.yaml --> vars.json
- drop 'not possible to add/modify/remove arbitrary files' comment
* make-amis
- use -eq for integer comparison
- make shellcheck happier with printf's
- remove old bad-idea TODO

 * The AMI's login user is currently hard coded to be `alpine`.  Changes to
