Better handle bucket name length limits

Bucket names must be at least 3 and no more than 63 characters long

Right now we just throw a generic bucket name error:

botocore.exceptions.ClientError: An error occurred (InvalidBucketName) when calling the CreateBucket operation: The specified bucket is not valid.

We can probably do better and catch some of these rules earlier.

Do the bucket names need to be DNS compliant in Stacker? It looks like you can create names longer than 63 characters.

Hmmm - I think they do, because of the way that Cloudformation addresses them. This is worth investigating more.
