Description

The Arrow C++ library now has an S3 filesystem implementation (ARROW-453), and in order to take advantage of that from R, we need to add the aws-sdk-cpp dependency to the macOS and Windows toolchains.

There is no PKGBUILD for this at https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages, but https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=aws-sdk-cpp-git has one.

For macOS, there already is a formula at https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/aws-sdk-cpp.rb, maybe that's sufficient?

Once that is in place, we can enable ARROW_S3=ON in cmake and build with it (https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/5167/files#diff-b048bf4c1679dce1028fd897a7c43b93R177)
