Allow non-prefix-matched IAM role and instance profile ARNs in AWS auth backend (#4071)

* Update aws auth docs with new semantics

Moving away from implicitly globbed bound_iam_role_arn and
bound_iam_instance_profile_arn variables to make them explicit

* Refactor tests to reduce duplication

auth/aws EC2 login tests had the same flow duplicated a few times, so
refactoring to reduce duplication

* Add tests for aws auth explicit wildcard constraints

* Remove implicit prefix matching from AWS auth backend

In the aws auth backend, bound_iam_role_arn and
bound_iam_instance_profile_arn were ALWAYS prefix matched, and there was
no way to opt out of this implicit prefix matching. This now makes the
implicit prefix matching an explicit opt-in feature by requiring users
to specify a * at the end of an ARN if they want the prefix matching.
