Fix for issue #31
Changes:

  1. Allow creating SimpleDB instance without either key or secret, and use aws-lib IAM role support to initialize the client.
  2. Don't store the AWS credentials locally - they are not used and should not be cached for simplicity and security.

don't store the user credentials

User credentials are not used after creating the client in the constructor, so no need ot save them (it also may be a security concern)

By not using a specialized init - aws-lib is not intelligent enough to figure out "optional positional parameters"
