Title: Allow the Simian Army to work under an assumed role (cross account access)

This resolves #77

- Introduces a new client property **simianarmy.client.aws.assumeRoleArn**
- which is consumed in the *BasicSimianArmyContext*
- Takes advantage of existing ability to pass in an AWS credentials provider for AWS client creation
- which was available but not used anywhere, now all clients are created with a defined provider, the default chain being used as standard
- Introduces a new credentials provider that handles management of the temporary credentials for the assumed role, particularly for renewal when they expire : required as no current AWS SDK credentials provider is suitable
- Alters Conformity Monkey rules that were creating clients to use the appropriate credentials provider
- ideally they wouldn't have to know about credentials providers but as they are creating clients they have to
- a future change could address this but it is a more general change, not just to support this feature
