Description
People might want to do an ec2:CopyImage on our AMIs. e.g. to backport an old AMI to a new region. For this they need access to the backing EBS snapshot. So for this we need to make the snapshots public too

Research direction
The issue links AWS's Copying AMIs documentation; start there, then trace the Python AMI automation that creates and publishes the backing EBS snapshots. No file or test is named, so locating that entry point is the first task. Done means the snapshots needed for cross-account ec2:CopyImage are made public as requested.
