Hey all, does anyone know if it's possible to pass `pulumi up` a different `aws:profile:` value during the cli run that doesn't overwrite the value in the stack file?

So like in my stack file I have this:
```config:
  aws:profile: staging
  aws:region: us-east-2```
Where `staging` corresponds to one of my named profiles in my `~/.aws/config` file.

But if someone else pulls down this code and tries to run it and their config file uses a different name for their keys to the same account can they pass a flag to `pulumi up` to point it there only during that run?

I tried using the `-c` flag but it looks like that overwrites the stack file value.

And yes I know this should be done all within a CICD pipeline, we're working on it :slightly_smiling_face:
