Random S3 Bucket Name Generator

This function uses the boto3 library's S3 client to generate a random S3 bucket name that does not exist. It first generates a random suffix, then attempts to create a bucket with a combination of a given prefix and the suffix. If the bucket already exists, it will catch the exception and continue until it finds a bucket that does not exist.
