putMetric to support addition of custom metrics in CloudWatch

[pclohar]

I have a use case where I want to enable high resolution metrics in CloudWatch. This is done via setting the 'StorageResolution' parameter in put-metric-data API to a value from 1 to 60. Currently putMetric only has these parameters (metricName, value, unit) and support for publishing custom metrics is missing.
