Updates the plugin's stream discovery to use DescribeStreamSummary[1] in favor of ListStreams[2]. The API switch has the following benefits. * Faster Startup - Previously, the configured stream had to be compared against all available streams (possibly paginating the results) to check its existence. Now it just calls a single API. * Improved Security - Previously, the AWS IAM credentials had to have read access to list all available streams. Now the AWS IAM credentials can restrict operations to a specific Kinesis stream ARN. * Improve API Limits - Per the AWS documentation, DescribeStreamSummary[1] has a limit of 20 transactions per second while ListStreams[2] has a limit of 5 transaction per second.

Updates the plugin's stream discovery to use DescribeStreamSummary[1]
in favor of ListStreams[2]. The API switch has the following benefits.
Faster Startup - Previously, the configured stream had to be compared
against all available streams (possibly paginating the results) to check
its existence. Now it just calls a single API.
Improved Security - Previously, the AWS IAM credentials had to have
read access to list all available streams. Now the AWS IAM credentials
can restrict operations to a specific Kinesis stream ARN.
Improve API Limits - Per the AWS documentation, DescribeStreamSummary[1]
has a limit of 20 transactions per second while ListStreams[2] has a limit
of 5 transaction per second.
