Add support for named profiles

In addition to authenticating with access keys / secrets add support for named profiles.

Thanks for the suggestion. Since this is a web app, it can't load information from files on the system automatically. However, I can add an option in which you select your credentials file, and then the different profiles (with their auth info) would be loaded - and you can then switch between them.

Would this work, or did you have something else in mind?

This would work. I understand it is not straightforward with a web app. I was thinking environment variables but I have only done this with node and go web apps and this would only work for the credentials, not the profile.

I just made an update that lets you load your credentials file and use the profiles configured within it to authenticate:

I am closing this issue, but let me know if you have any issues.
