(core): Synth always fails if configured AWS creds are expired

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug

If I have AWS credentials in my .aws/credentials file that are expired, cdk synth will not work, regardless of whether it needs to perform API calls.

Expected Behavior

cdk synth works regardless of AWS credentials if no AWS API calls required

Current Behavior

Error on synth with expired AWS credentials: The security token included in the request is expired

The same works fine if I have no configured AWS credentials at all.

Reproduction Steps

cdk init sample-app Have expired credentials configured in ~/.aws/credentials cdk synth - Error rm ~/.aws/credentials cdk synth - Succeeds

Possible Solution

No response

Additional Information/Context

The fact that synth works fine without any credentials at all confirms that this is a bug.
