Issue:
[BUG] AWSV4SignerAuth doesn't freeze credentials before signing, leading to a race condition
### What is the bug?
AWSV4SignerAuth passes the raw credentials object to SigV4Auth, instead of checking for a `get_frozen_credentials` method and calling that. This leads to the access key for a request differing from the secret key used to sign it.

### How can one reproduce the bug?

1. Setup your AWS SDK with a refreshable credential mechanism.
2. Sign requests like it's going out of business
3. When you cross the refresh threshold, you'll get a request indicating it was signed with a different key than it actually was.

### What is the expected behavior?
All requests get signed with matching access keys & secrets.

### Do you have any additional context?
See this Python docstring in botocore for a more thorough explanation of the problem.
