Enable AWS Secret Manager credentailstores to assume the IAM Role of an k8s serviceAccount

Currently, there is a limitation with SDC credentialstores when SDC runs in EKS. When SDC accesses AWS Secrets Manager via the credentialstore functions and the authentication configured in credential-stores.properties is instanceProfile, the role which SDC will try accessing these secrets will be the IAM Role of the k8s pod, rather than the serviceAccount role.

This is problematic since:

  1. The ideal role which should be assumed is the configured serviceAccount.
  2. It's also a different behavior than when AWS stages assume the default instanceProfile. For instance, AWS stage in the pipeline are able to assume the serviceAccount IAM role, it's only our credentialstore functions which are assuming this k8s pod's IAM role.
  3. Using IAM Roles instead of AWS keys is often a security policy requirement in live environments, so there is no secure workaround to get the assumed role working for credentialstores.

Ideally we should support k8s deployments having same secure AWS instanceProfile authentication options for credential stores, and some way for customer's to use their same serviceAccount's IAM role that their other AWS stages are able to assume.
