[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.
