Description

### Checks

- [x] I have searched [github.com/aws/amazon-q-developer-cli/issues](https://github.com/aws/amazon-q-developer-cli/issues?q=) and there are no duplicates of my issue
- [x] I have run `q doctor` in the affected terminal session
- [x] I have run `q restart` and replicated the issue again

### Operating system

Linux 6.6.76-g027a1f314c8f - Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)

### Expected behaviour

Q Developer CLI should provide a command to check the current AWS region being used, similar to `aws configure get region` but integrated into the Q CLI workflow.

### Actual behaviour

Currently, users need to use separate AWS CLI commands or check configuration files to determine their current region when working with Q Developer CLI.

```
[chat-transcript]
> /issue It would be valuable to have a feature in the Q Developer CLI that allows users to check the current region they are operating in directly from the command line
