Make Elastigroup's On Demand not optional
The current implementation allows users not to specify the `InstanceType` attribute which would later be translated to the Elastigroups `ondemand` attribute. [This attribute is mandatory according to the API](https://api.spotinst.com/elastigroup/amazon-web-services-2/create/#compute.instanceTypes.ondemand) and [Spotint's recommendations](https://github.com/zalando-stups/senza/pull/516#pullrequestreview-136726224). The stack would not be created.

The fallbackToOd should always be set to True given that `ondemand` is mandatory.
