Martin Atkins 116826c32f website: S3 module sources now support all standard AWS credential sources ...

As of go-getter v1.8.0, which we already upgraded in an earlier commit,
the S3 "getter" now uses the AWS SDK's default credentials chain
configuration and so follows the same set of credentials-searching
strategies that AWS CLI and other AWS SDK applications would follow.

We learned this only after having already merged that upgrade, so this is
a retroactive documentation and changelog update to describe the change.
Since go-getter is now delegating this whole question to the AWS SDK, our
future upgrades of the AWS SDK will automatically adopt any upstream
changes to the default credentials chain and so our documentation about
this is now more general than before: the intention is that our users can
generally assume that OpenTofu should support everything that is documented
as supported for the AWS CLI, instead of us listing out an explicit search
sequence that will be long and inevitably become outdated again.
