aws s3 module - multi part files

As discussed previously in the past on the list, the current AWS S3 module doesn’t work with files upload as multi-part (done automatically for example when using the awsCLI tools to sync a folder)

The current behaviour is that it fails if the file was upload as multi-part, propose a new attribute to the module called syncstrategy with following values:

  • md5 (default) - same behaviour as now
  • sizeandtime - use timestamp and filesize to see if files needs to be downloaded/uploaded (this is similar to native s3 sync command)
  • sizeonly - use file size only to compare to see if files needs to be downloaded/uploaded (there is a similar option native s3 sync command)

Does this sound like a reasonable approach if so I can submit a PR?

Is this a reasonable suggestion, would a pull request be considered if i implemented theses changes?
