Title: Address gem loading conflict with the appoxy aws gem.

The aws-sdk gem does not conflict in Ruby module name space
but it does conflict with load paths, namely, the root
aws.rb. This removes aws.rb from the Amazon gem, allowing
the gems to co-exist for folks wishing to migrate from
appoxy aws gem to the aws-sdk gem in an orderly fashion.

Obviously, this breaks any users who haven't caught on to require 'aws-sdk' instead of require 'aws', but one or the other of the gems has to change if users are to get the two to co-exist without hideous hacks. The appoxy gem appears to have been around much longer, so I'm suggesting the relatively new kid on the block make the change.
