pathogen-repo-build: support assuming AWS role for runtime permissions

Assumes the role `GitHubActionsRoleNextstrainS3Access` (just a placeholder name, final name TDB in nextstrain/infra#4) and scopes repo specific permissions with an inline session policy. The runtime credentials are then saved in an envdir that is passed to the build command via `NEXTSTRAIN_RUNTIME_ENVDIRS`.
