* Skip IAM/STS identity validation - For environments or other api
implementations where there are no IAM/STS endpoints available, this
option lets you opt out from that provider initialization step.
* Skip metdata api check - For environments in which you know ahead of
time there isn't going to be a metadta api endpoint, this option lets
you opt out from that check to save time.

`session.NewSession()`, which also returns an error. This commit updates
the various call sites previously making use of `session.New()`.
