Is it useful to support directly writing OME-Zarr to S3 ?

Looks like with the new N5 it should be easy to directly write to S3:

final ImagePlus imp = IJ.openImage( "/path/to/some.tif" );
final ExecutorService exec = Executors.newFixedThreadPool( 4 );
N5IJUtils.save( imp, 
    new N5Factory().openWriter( "s3://myBucket/myContainer.ome.zarr" ), 
    "/myDataset", 
	new int[]{64, 64, 64},
	new GzipCompression(), 
	exec );
exec.shutdown();

Shall we add this to the project creator?

I think that would be quite useful indeed!

yes, that would be a slow but nice option for people allergic to CLI.
