WIP multipart S3 upload
I'm a little stuck on getting the list of etags of the parts. This seems to require taking the md5 of each part locally, which doesn't get along well with lazily streaming in the part from the file. It would need to read the file twice, or lose laziness and buffer a whole part -- but parts might be quite large. This seems to be a problem with the API provided; S3 is supposed to return an etag, but that is not exposed. I have filed a bug: https://github.com/aristidb/aws/issues/141
