Description

Currently with test methods like `generate_sqs_event`, `generate_sns_event`, etc. you can only set the message/message body. It would be helpful to have the ability to set some of the metadata fields in these events (e.g. `messageAttributes` in SQS or `MessageAttrirbutes` in SNS), as some of our lambda jobs need this information to function properly. Currently I don't know that there's a way around this, other than changing the actual lambda handler code to add an exception for tests, which isn't ideal.

Research direction

Start by locating the generate_sqs_event and generate_sns_event test-event helpers, then inspect their existing tests and event-building code. Done means callers can provide metadata such as SQS messageAttributes and SNS MessageAttributes while preserving the current message or body behavior.
