Performance tweaks

Each regional savings plan URL ranges from 40~70 MB.
The list of EC2 offers is roughly 1.3GB. Even over gigabit fiber connections, it can take a while to download/read.
Because of this, if repeatedly running this script, save the 1.3GB JSON file locally, and toggle within the getSKUListLocal function and tweak the file name accordingly.

doLocal = True  # toggle

if (doLocal):
    # this is a 1.3 GB file - may take time
    with open('index_aws_ec2.json') as json_file: 
        myJSON = json.load(json_file)
