Description
### Describe the bug
When there is `region` key in the `~/.aws/credentials` file, as per AWS Documentation it has higher precedence then the one in `~/.aws/config`.
So when `AWS_REGION` env. var. is not set and we have `regions` keys in both files, the one in the credential file become the effective region when `--region` is not set in the CLI.
However printing out the `aws configure list` still shows the source as config file and the value is set to what is in the config file. While the value is indeed matching with the one in the config file, but this is NOT the effective value used.
This is very confusing and at this point we don't have a mean to show what is the actual effective value used.
### Regression Issue
- [ ] Select this option if this issue appears to be a regression.
### Expected Behavior
It should shows that the source is from credential file and the value set in that file.
### Current Behavior
It shows that the source is from config file and the value set in that file.
### Reproduction Steps
1. Have `region` keys on the same profile in both config & shared credential files.
2. Unset `AWS_REGION` env. var.
3. Execute `aws configure list`.
