envs add aws/credentials

This declares the keys below in your catalog and sets none of them. A template is a schema for keys; it never carries a value.

Key	Needed	Kind	Notes
`AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`	required	secret	Half of an AWS credential pair. Not a thing to bake into a browser bundle, whatever its name suggests. No shape is declared: AWS shows AKIA and ASIA in examples but states no contract.. where to get it
`AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`	required	secret	The credential. AWS allows two keys per user so one can be retired while the other works.. where to get it
`AWS_SESSION_TOKEN`	optional	secret	Required with temporary credentials, absent with a long-term key. AWS recommends the temporary ones.. where to get it
`AWS_REGION`	optional	config	The SDK reads this; the CLI also reads AWS_DEFAULT_REGION.. where to get it
