support InstanceProfileCredentialsProvider #14

Description

@adriaanm

When running on an EC2 instance, you can avoid having to generate credentials using IAM instance profiles. This is safer because it allows for more precise role-based access control.

The solution would be to fall back to an InstanceProfileCredentialsProvider (example) when there are no credentials available.
