Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
I am trying to use Workload Identity Federation on AWS ECS Fargate. It seems that `AwsCredentials.getAwsSecurityCredentials` ([code](https://github.com/googleapis/google-auth-library-java/blob/acc1ce3603435f1c0cf23b8606af71b05e566f2f/oauth2_http/java/com/google/auth/oauth2/AwsCredentials.java#L319-L325
)) only supports EC2 metadata service and does not support [ECS Fargate container credential URL](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdkref/latest/guide/feature-container-credentials.html).
**Describe the solution you'd like**
Google auth SDK should support [ECS Fargate container credential URL](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdkref/latest/guide/feature-container-credentials.html) through environment variable `AWS_CONTAINER_CREDENTIALS_RELATIVE_URI`.
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
The alternative to use Workload Identity Federation on ECS Fargate is implementing the [REST authentication](https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/using-workload-identity-federation#rest) myself.
