Support ~/.aws/credentials authentication

[xentek]

The aws-sdk and aws-cli can both use ~/.aws/credentials as the source for the access and secret keys. Indeed, the aws-sdk uses this as one of the methods in the DefaultAWSCredentialsProviderChain. The benefit of this method is that you aren't forced to pollute your global ENV vars with access keys (especially when you have more than one set).

Thanks for considering making this change! Keep up the good work.
