Set "AWS_REGION" env variable as well as "AWS_DEFAULT_REGION"

It seems name of environment variable for aws region is different with aws-java-sdk

Is there a particular problem you are running into?

[chang12]

I've running gradle task cascaded by awsudo.
e.g. awsudo -u profile_name ./gradlew ...

I expect that region written in ~/.aws/config is applied to aws-java-sdk, but it's not.

So I think it will be better awsudo set AWS_REGION too, which is used by aws-java-sdk.

An example of functionality that needs AWS_REGION set may be CloudWatchLogs:

const Aws = require('aws-sdk');

new Aws.CloudWatchLogs().describeLogGroups({}, (err, details) => {
  if (err) {
    console.error(err);
  } else {
    console.log(details);
  }
});

If launched as awsudo node index.js it fails with ConfigError: Missing region in config.
But AWS_REGION=us-east-1 node index.js works fine.

Cool!. Let me look into this.
