Ensure proper order for obtaining credentials, assuming roles, using …

…profiles (#5)

* Adjust logic to validate creds before assumerole

Previously, a bug existed that prevented session-derived creds
from being used when assuming a role. This is because session-
derived creds would not be gathered until the very last moment.
Since all the assumerole logic was passed before this last moment,
assumerole could not work with session-derived creds.

Now, GetCredentials has a new contract - it provides and validates
credentials. Before, GetCredentials would sometimes return
unvalidated creds and sometimes validated creds. This meant that
more error handling logic needed to be included in GetSession and
GetSessionOptions. As part of validating creds, GetCredentials now
gets session-derived creds, if necessary, prior to assuming a role.

* Add error instance for better checking
