Allow SdkPlugins on S3Clients to Force Path Style. #7153

Description

@Techno3d

Describe the feature

It would be nice if SdkPlugins that are targeting S3Clients could force path style access.

Most configuration that can be set when using S3Client.builder() can be accessed in SdkPlugins by using ((S3ServiceClientConfiguration.Builder) config), but path style access is not one of them.

Use Case

I'm am trying to figure out how I can apply configurations to S3Clients at the company I am working at. We noticed that #2247 is affecting us, and wanted to force path style access as part of a plugin we are developing to standardize configuration. This is also helpful when the issue mentioned gets resolved and we want our users to swap back to using virtual host style domains, as my team could publish the change in our plugin and have it be consumed across the org without having to ask every team that uses this sdk to change their code.

Proposed Solution

The workaround I was able to find involved making an ExecutionInterceptor that modifies SdkInternalExecutionAttribute's CLIENT_CONTEXT_PARAM. However, the docs specifically mention "Only generated code from the SDK clients should set these values."

The customization.config in S3's codegen resources would probably need to be modified to add path style access to the customClientContextParams array, which I think gets read by ServiceClientConfigurationUtils when it adds fields.
