Description
It would be cool if we could assume role with external id set. Something like this:
- path_regex: secrets/environments/production/secrets.yaml
kms: 'arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:666666666:key/xxxx-x-xxxxx+arn:aws:iam:us-east-1:666666666:role/kms_role'
external_id: 'some_secret_external_id'
or
creation_rules:
- kms: arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:666666666:key/xxxx-x-xxxxx+arn:aws:iam:us-east-1:666666666:role/kms_role+some_secret_external_id

Research direction
Start by tracing how SOPS parses creation_rules and performs AWS role assumption for KMS. Check the existing AWS-related tests and configuration handling; done means an external ID can be configured for the role and is used during assumption without breaking existing KMS configuration formats.
