Description

Add a guide section for implementing your own credentials providers
Things to cover:
- [ ] simple providers with `async_provide_credentials_fn`
- [ ] Using LazyCaching to wrap the provider
- [ ] More complex providers with direct implementation of `AsyncProvideCredentials`
- [ ] use with async-trait
- [ ] overall trait layout (`Credentials` implements provide credentials, blanket impls, etc.)
