[FLINK-4222] Allow Kinesis configuration to get credentials from AWS
Metadata
When called without credentials, the AmazonKinesisClient tries to configure
itself automatically, searching for credentials from environment variables,
java system properties, and finally from instance profile credentials delivered
through the Amazon EC2 metadata service.
Add the AWSConfigConstant "AUTO", which supports creating an
AmazonKinesisClient without any AWSCredentials, which allows for this
auto-discovery mechanism to take place and supports getting kinesis credentials
from the AWS EC2 metadata service.

> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Streaming Connectors
> Affects Versions: 1.0.3
> Reporter: Nick Chadwick
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: easyfix
> Original Estimate: 1h
> Remaining Estimate: 1h
>
> When deploying Flink TaskManagers in an EC2 environment, it would be nice to
> be able to use the EC2 IAM Role credentials provided by the EC2 Metadata
> service.
> This allows for credentials to be automatically discovered by services
> running on EC2 instances at runtime, and removes the need to explicitly
> create and assign credentials to TaskManagers.
> This should be a fairly small change to the configuration of the
> flink-connector-kinesis, which will greatly improve the ease of deployment to
> Amazon EC2
