Support endpoint configuration via env and shared config

[adrianlungu]

Describe the feature

Given that the AWS-CLI has received support for endpoint configuration via AWS_ENDPOINT_URL env vars, or the shared config file, as detailed here: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/developer/new-improved-flexibility-when-configuring-endpoint-urls-with-the-aws-sdks-and-tools/

It would be nice if the Go AWS SDK also supported this to be able to configure the AWS endpoint url automatically as done with other variables, without having to explicitly specify it in code.

Use Case

Configuring the AWS session via environment variables or the shared configuration file without having to maintain the variable in multiple places to pass it to code via a WithEndpoint func.

Thanks for the feature request.

This is actually a cross-SDK initiative (and it appears it has already landed in the CLI) that we were tracking internally. We'll leave this feature request open for visibility.

I was just searching this exact thing yesterday myself as well. Is there any idea of an ETA for when this might be released?
