HuginBot - AWS CDK Valheim Server with Discord Bot

I've been working on this for a while and wanted to share it with the community since it builds on this container.

Background: My group has been playing on the same world for a few years. I originally planned to self-host, but my
apartment is behind CGNAT, so I switched to AWS. I didn't want to pay for monthly hosting when we only play a few
hours a week, so I built this to minimize costs.

What it does:

• Discord bot for server control (/start, /stop, /status)
• Automatic backups to S3 on start/stop
• Multi-world support with per-world mod configurations
• Auto-shutdown when empty
• Interactive CLI for admin tasks

The best part: our builders can start the server themselves now instead of bugging me when I'm at work.

Started as a fork of https://github.com/rileydakota/valheim-ecs-fargate-cdk but expanded enough that I rewrote it from scratch using EC2 instead of Fargate.

If anyone tries it out, I'd love to hear how it goes! PRs and feedback welcome!
