Bucket existence validated before bucket actually created

[RichiCoder1]

Howdy! I'm using the assetPrefix option to let the plugin deploy the assets bucket. However, even after serverless remove with no pre-existing stack whatsoever, I guess this error:

Serverless Nextjs: Copying next pages to tmp build folder
Serverless Nextjs: Found 2 next page(s)

  The assets bucket "serverless-nextjs-richard-dev-assets-bucket" does not exist. Create it manually or delete the stack and recreate it.

I'm very confused too as I thought serverless-nextjs-plugin handled this? And it seems like this check is hapenning before serverless actually has a change to deploy the cloudformation stack that creates bucket for the first time?

I (partially) figured it out. If deploymentBucket is set, createStack doesn't actually, well, create the initial stack. Not sure how to fix this.

Code for reference: https://github.com/serverless/serverless/blob/v1.50.0/lib/plugins/aws/deploy/lib/createStack.js#L85

Looks like the issue arises because the checking of the bucket happens before the stack is update. The offending code is here https://github.com/danielcondemarin/serverless-nextjs-plugin/blob/fcd19e026d5c9fc098be79986142f9108732bf6c/packages/serverless-nextjs-plugin/index.js#L29 and you can see the order in which hooks are run here https://gist.github.com/HyperBrain/50d38027a8f57778d5b0f135d80ea406.

I believe if the bucket is created as part of the first sls deploy then createStack will create the bucket and not cause an issue, but if you run sls deploy first then add the bucket later the check will fail.
