`import aws_xray_sdk.core` attempts to establish session

See original GitHub issue

It feels a little odd for a library to establish a session on import. Is that truly necessary, or would it be possible to gate that setup on an explicit call to an xray class/method?

I only discovered the session is being setup because I happened to have an incorrect/null AWS_PROFILE configured locally, while testing a logging config using the aws-lambda-powertools-python library. I opened an issue there, but it seemed more appropriate for the xray team.

$ AWS_PROFILE=profiletypo python -c 'import aws_xray_sdk.core'
