This PR deletes the redundant copies of the snapshots_tool_utils.py file. It also automates the creation of zip files and the uploading of those zip files to S3. With this bit of automation, it is easier to generate the lambda zips and deploy this to your own local bucket. That makes it less dependent on the versions of the zip files in the AWS-managed buckets.

So while this is really helpful for people opting to host their own version of the code, can we update the managed/hosted version of this code at the same time?

I am in contact with Marcelo. We'll see about getting the hosted version updated.
