Using patched versions of smithy-rs crates

[spencergilbert]

👋 Hey there,

I've been trying to test a proposed bug fix for an issue we ran into and it's been difficult to actually test the behavior of the proposed fix.

I've made the changes locally and updated our explicit dependency on aws-smithy-http to use my local crate via path, as well as using patch.crates-io to attempt to override the dependency for all of the other AWS crates we're pulling in.

I ended up apply the changes to a local copy of aws-sdk-rust on the 0.54.x branch and using that as source of all our AWS dependencies.

Is that the best/recommended way or did I miss something easier?

The path you took sounds right to me.
