Support custom s3 endpoint

[puneetloya]

Feature Request

Do you support or plan to support custom s3 endpoint? So that we can use providers like minio/ceph-s3

[Kami]

We already have a bunch of drivers which are based on the S3 API (Google Cloud Storage, Aurora Objects, DigitalOcean Spaces, etc.) so it probably shouldn't be too hard to add a new S3 based provider driver for ceph-s3.

@puneetloya @Kami any news regarding this issue? I need to use cassandra medusa which uses libcloud storage on a minio object storage

@DrissiReda As per my comment above - I don't think it should take much work for to add support for custom endpoints as we already have other drivers such as Google Storage based on the S3 one.

I don't have access to any minio cluster to test it myself though. I guess I could try spinning it on minikube, but no idea when I'll get a chance to do that.

#1528.

I've used MinIO docker image to test it. I haven't done any extensive testing, but the basic operations I tested seem to work fine.
