… exec plugin The kubernetes provider's exec plugin (`aws eks get-token`) had no way to select an AWS CLI profile, so it silently fell back to the default credential chain. Consumers with named profiles had to export AWS_PROFILE in their shell before running tofu, with no way to express it in code. Adds an optional aws_profile variable (default "") and threads it into the exec args, matching the pattern already used for the "aws" provider in this same module.
