Description

**Describe the problem/challenge you have**

Need to fetch artifacts from AWS S3 buckets.

We, and our vendors, distribute artifacts with S3. Some buckets are secured so can't be accessed anonymously via the `https://` path.

**Describe the solution you'd like**

Support `s3://` like this:

```yml
apiVersion: vendir.k14s.io/v1alpha1
kind: Config
directories:
- path: vendor
contents:
- path: my-package
s3:
url: s3://bucket-name/packages/my-package.tgz
```

It should use the AWS SDK, such that it automatically uses the authentication from the environment (variables, credential file, credential process, instance metadata, ...).

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating vendir's existing content URL handling and AWS SDK usage, then verify that an s3:// URL can use the stated environment and metadata credentials; done means the YAML example fetches the artifact from a secured S3 bucket.
