Can anyone tell me what exactly this means, where is it documented and why would I want to disable it?
```    Downloading provider: aws
    pulumi-aws: starting to validate credentials. Disable this by AWS_SKIP_CREDENTIALS_VALIDATION or skipCredentialsValidation option
    pulumi-aws: credentials are valid
       logging/tf_logger.go:39: provider.aws-base: Retrieved credentials: provider=aws@v6.37.1 tf_aws.credentials_source=EnvConfigCredentials
       logging/tf_logger.go:39: provider.aws-base: Retrieved caller identity from STS: provider=aws@v6.37.1```
[edit] it appears that this `TF_LOG=DEBUG` causes the log to emit

This is documented at <https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/aws/installation-configuration/#configuration-options>:

&gt; Skip the credentials validation via STS API. Used for AWS API implementations that do not have STS available/implemented.
