S3 on node-red-node-aws will not upload if account cannot access root directory of bucket

[joshuacurtiss]

Which node are you reporting an issue on?

node-red-node-aws

What are the steps to reproduce?

Configure AWS connection to a bucket where credentials do not have list/read/write access to the root directory of the bucket.

my-bucket - Credentials cannot list/read/write my-bucket/accounts/my-account/ - Have list/read/write access

What happens?

Upon deploying changes, debugger receives error "AWS S3 error: AccessDenied: Access Denied", and then any messages passed to the node will not write objects to any path in the bucket.

What do you expect to happen?

Expected that the node will still attempt to write objects to a path in the bucket and only return "Access Denied" error if indeed the credentials don't have access to the specific path. Currently, however, the node will not function at all if the root path is inaccessible.
