Description

Now that we have an ec2 snitch that propagates its rack/dc info via gossip from CASSANDRA-1654, it doesn't make a lot of sense to use PFEPS where you have to rsync the property file across all the machines when you add a node. Instead, we could have a snitch where you specify its rack/dc in a property file, and propagate this via gossip like the ec2 snitch. In order to not break PFEPS, this should probably be a new snitch.
