Support ~/.aws/credentials

[jjshoe]

It would be great if s3cmd would check ~/.aws/credentials (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-chap-getting-started.html) for just the credentials to use.

Export AWS_CREDENTIAL_FILE=~/.aws/credentials, and then run s3cmd. This is
in upstream master branch and v1.5.2.

@mdomsch very handy, though not the same thing by any means. The point was to check the location that AWS recommends for you to store your credentials.

I'm not sure why the location was defined in an environment variable
instead of simply looked at. David?
