S3 error: Unable to get the object https://s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/aws-operator/ecrrepository.yaml

Hi
There is no proper documentation on how to use
<BUCKET_NAME> - (optional) The operator stores certain things in s3 create a bucket or provide an existing bucket for the operator to use i.e. aws s3 mb s3://foobar

I am getting the error below when I try to create the ecr registry as explained in the example :
time="2019-02-24T14:46:43Z" level=error msg="error creating ecrrepository 'example-repository-name-2'" error="ValidationError: S3 error: Unable to get the object https://s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/aws-operator/ecrrepository.yaml\n\tstatus code: 400, request id: 00c1dd2e-3843-11e9-a2bc-47768777400d" hostname=aws-service-operator-85ff9558bb-hl2ml

Seems that its related to
#155
--bucket is missing when creating the operator

I solved it by adding the --bucket flag:
in configs/aws-service-operator.yaml
args:
- server
- --cluster-name=EKSCluster12
- --region=eu-west-1
- --account-id=582866566323
- --bucket=aws-operator-bucket

it seems that this bucket flag is mandatory in specific regions

The bucket argument needs to be mandatory.

"Bucket names must be unique across all existing bucket names in Amazon S3"

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/BucketRestrictions.html

This means the bucket argument cannot have the default argument value of aws-operator https://github.com/awslabs/aws-service-operator/blob/76312848693937324f5920d771cde1abe2f51fdd/cmd/aws-service-operator/main.go#L57

Even generating a different default value of the s3 bucket name, using e.g. cluster-name + -aws-service-operator (see #196) may result in a bucket name that is not globally unique.
