**Description** Add AWS Secrets Manager secrets backend support for SecureString parameters and include role based authentication when connecting to AWS via the SecretsManagerBackend class. **Use case / motivation** PR #8186 added support for AWS Secrets Manager as a secrets backend within Airflow. SecureStrings currently do not get decrypted. From what I can also tell from the source code, the current implementation requires an AWS profile (and therefore, I am assuming a key/secret). I therefore wanted to see if we could add the ability to retrieve and make use of decrypted SecureString parameters and use non credentials based authentication (using a role, for example, to authenticate the connection to AWS SSM). This change would help my use of Airflow within my present company. The first issue I think is known and discussed in the above PR. The latter could perhaps do with some discussion as I could be wrong about the use of profile within SecretsManagerBackend.
