Bad path for shared credentials file is ignored

[mauriciovasquezbernal]

Consider the following terraform file to be used with https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-aws:

provider "aws" {
  version = "2.35.0"
  region = "us-west-2"
  shared_credentials_file = "path_to_some_non_existing_file"
}

If there is a valid credentials file at ~/.aws/credentials, terraform will use that instead of giving an error on the path_to_some_non_existing_file.

I tried to debug the problem a little bit and found out that ~/.aws/credentials is loaded in GetCredentialsFromSession when the loading of the credentials file fails.

aws-sdk-go-base/awsauth.go

Line 301 in 91fe567

creds, err = GetCredentialsFromSession(c)

I don't totally understand the logic behind this code so unfortunately I am not able to propose a solution. GetCredentialsFromSession was introduced in #5. @YakDriver could you please have a look?
