Another important note is that while /vsis3/ and openjpeg or jp2kak
technically work, they cause a huge number of GET request to be issued,
and as AWS_REQUEST_PAYER=requester, you may end up with a significant bill
if you do mass processing.

If you read whole .jp2 files, you'd better download locally them in
a single GET request.
