assume-role-arn should use auto-detect

[derrickburns]

The only place I need to provide my account info is to provide an assume-role-arn. Can you use the auto-detect feature that identifies the prefix to also provide the prefix for assume-role-arn?

One backward compatible way would be to detect if assume-role-arn is a complete arn or simply a role name. If the latter and the auto-detect feature is on, the create the complete arn from the auto-detected prefix and the role name.

This would be a great feature.

Was this resolved by #276? As in, I can use either a RoleARN or a RoleName for the value in the annotation?

We have just faced this issue in kiam:4.0

As you can see in the server logs, the ARN is autocompleted for the requested role by the pod (z2h2q-Route53Manager-Role) but it's not autocompleted for the role that the server has to assume (z2h2q-IAMManager-Role).

This is our server parameters that we use for release 3.X and if we put the full ARN it works perfectly:

 containers:
     - args:
       - --json-log
       - --level=info
       - --bind=0.0.0.0:6443
       - --cert=/etc/kiam/tls/tls.crt
       - --key=/etc/kiam/tls/tls.key
       - --ca=/etc/kiam/tls/ca.crt
       - --role-base-arn-autodetect
       - --assume-role-arn=z2h2q-IAMManager-Role
       - --session-duration=15m
       - --sync=1m
       - --prometheus-listen-addr=0.0.0.0:9620
       - --prometheus-sync-interval=5s
       - --region=eu-west-1

Is this expected and we need to provide full ARN now or maybe we have something missconfigured in the the new release?

Thank you very much!

Does the arnResolvernot also be added in the credentialsCache inside DefaultCache, https://github.com/uswitch/kiam/blob/v4.0/pkg/aws/sts/cache.go#L28? In v3.6 it has been added but now it's not used anymore but the field still exists, this seems wrong to me.

@pingles any idea on https://github.com/uswitch/kiam/issues/271#issuecomment-758794854 ?
