Invoking Local Lambda via AWS CLI and SDK

[sanathkr]

The ability to invoke sam local Lambda functions via the AWS CLI and SDK, by simply setting the endpoint. Today, you have to call sam local invoke to actually Invoke a Lambda function. This means, you can't port your existing integration tests that run both against the local Lambda environment and cloud.

SAM Local can provide a local HTTP endpoint that responds to Lambda Invoke API and invokes Lambda locally. You can simply point AWS CLI or SDK to this endpoint to run tests against it.
