Backups and IMPORT/EXPORT to AWS S3 incorrectly use the
https://s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com
endpoint to determine the S3 region a given bucket is located in and ignore an endpoint that was explicitly given.
In an AWS VPC that is configured with only a private IPv4 block, this can cause the bucket to be inaccessible because a connection to the us-west-1 endpoint can't be established, which will then cause backups to that bucket to fail.
VPC systems with an IPv6 address or a public IPv4 address are unaffected.
We will change this to use the endpoint that was explicitly specified.
