Deploying to Elastic Beanstalk via CircleCi 2.0

I got to here after spending hours trying to deploy to an Elastic Beanstalk instance via CircleCi 2.0 so I thought I'd write up what worked for me to hopefully help others. Shout out to RobertoSchneiders who's steps for getting it to work with CircleCi 1.0 were my starting point.
