refactor(serverless): address PR review feedback for boto3 lazy-loading

Address Copilot review comments from PR #466:

1. Extract boto3 import logic into shared helper function
   - Created _import_boto3_dependencies() to reduce duplication
   - Used by both get_boto_client() and bucket_upload()
   - Consistent error handling across all S3 upload functions

2. Add TransferConfig import to bucket_upload()
   - Now imports all boto3 dependencies via shared helper
   - Maintains consistency with get_boto_client()

3. Clarify documentation about fallback directories
   - Documented that upload_image() uses simulated_uploaded/
   - Documented that public API functions use local_upload/
   - Added context about when fallback behavior occurs

All 358 tests pass with 97% coverage.

 The upload utility requires [boto3](https://pypi.org/project/boto3/) for S3 functionality. boto3 is lazy-loaded to minimize initial import time and memory footprint.
 
-If you attempt to use S3 upload features without boto3 installed, you'll receive a warning and files will be saved to local disk instead (`simulated_uploaded/` or `local_upload/` directories).
+If you attempt to use S3 upload features without boto3 installed or S3 credentials are not configured, files will be saved to local disk instead:
+- `upload_image()` saves to `simulated_uploaded/` directory
+- `upload_file_to_bucket()` and `upload_in_memory_object()` save to `local_upload/` directory
