Add support for DynamoDB

I know it's only just been released, but may as well have a ticket for it, no?

REST API details here:

We should look into integrating some of the work done on the dynamo lib - https://github.com/jed/dynamo
I will need a node Dynamo client for a large project coming up - so I will have a look at this myself during the next weeks.

I had a look at it this morning - looks like we need to implement Signature Version 4 as described here:
http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/general/latest/gr/signature-version-4.html
The DynamoDB API also expects a few more headers:

@jed are you keen to move some of the low-level plumbing of https://github.com/jed/dynamo into aws-lib?
aws-lib's goal is to implement the low-level calls in a generic way to allow building of more high-level libraries on top.

@mirkok, as it turns out, i've just moved the low-level stuff into jed/dynamo-client recently. take a look when you have the chance.

@jed thanks that looks great! I will go through it as soon as I find some spare time.
