Description
Description of Issue
Trying to use salt-call boto_cfn.exists mystack region=eu-north-1
and getting response
Passed invalid arguments: Region "eu-north-1" is not valid..
$ python3
>>> import boto
>>> from boto import cloudformation
>>> cloudformation.regions()
[RegionInfo:eu-west-2, RegionInfo:eu-central-1, RegionInfo:us-east-2, RegionInfo:ap-southeast-2, RegionInfo:ap-northeast-2, RegionInfo:ap-northeast-1, RegionInfo:cn-north-1, RegionInfo:ap-south-1, RegionInfo:us-west-1, RegionInfo:us-east-1, RegionInfo:us-gov-west-1, RegionInfo:us-west-2, RegionInfo:ap-southeast-1, RegionInfo:ca-central-1, RegionInfo:sa-east-1, RegionInfo:eu-west-1]
It seems like boto2, and subsequently all (?) modules depending on this dont have support for any new AWS regions.

Research direction
