Added long polling support. #16

Closed MPlugInSpace closed 6 years ago

Hello,

In using your library at work(NewsCycle Solution) I need to support long polling so I added an optional parameter to support it. In my testing the default behavior is not changed with the default value of '0'. Unfortunately the effect of a WaitTimeSeconds=0 is not documented so I can offer no further support of this not changing the default behavior. This is my first pull request on GitHub so if any of this is 'off' let me know.

Thanks, Gabriel Norton

Your intuition served you well. As per the documentation, setting WaitTimeSeconds=0 invokes short polling. Thanks for the contribution!

Good catch, thanks for the link, I had been looking in the boto3 docs and did not think to look in service docs.
