Description

This is different from pubsub #295 because it is specific to message handling from AWS SQS, not a generic pubsub solution. I am envisioning something modeled very similarly to the AMQP transport. I was going to try to implement this; would there be interest from the team if we proposed it as a PR?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the existing AMQP transport implementation in the go kit/kit repository and adapt it for AWS SQS using the AWS SDK for Go. Look at the pubsub issue #295 for context, but focus on direct SQS message handling.
