AWS CLI v2 and current AWS SDKs read `AWS_ENDPOINT_URL`, so most tools need no configuration.
The endpoint names the server `localhost` (it listens on `127.0.0.1`), as `homecloud aws-env`
does: S3 Control, which the Terraform AWS provider calls for every bucket, puts the account ID
in front of the host name, and `123456789012.localhost` resolves where `123456789012.127.0.0.1`
does not.
