Research direction

Start by running the `AWS: About Toolkit` command and reviewing how the VS Code AWS Toolkit selects profiles and displays resources. The issue names no files or tests; done would require a clear decision and documented or implemented support for obtaining an STS-assumed-role session from a selected profile and showing resources through it.
