Makes random files in S3 to test SQS S3 Events

S3 File generator

This has a pretty specific use case, BuildHub#456. This will generate random files into S3 and every so often generate a buildhub.json file.

AWS Credentials

Make sure your AWS DEV IAM credentials are in ./aws/config. Right now it only supports them being your [default] credentials... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
