Upload pre run executable file to our lambda storage

In order to use pre run feature you first need to upload your relevant script files to our lambda storage. For every pre run action you need to upload 2 scripts (Pre run file and Post run file). Pre run file will be executed before starting the test and post run file will be executed after test is completed. If you perform any changes in test machine like changing host file, changing windows registry key, installing certificates, then your post run file should undo those changes
