feat: Add AWS IAM authentication support for MySQL

- Add @aws-sdk/rds-signer dependency for RDS auth token generation
- Extend CLI arguments with --aws-iam-auth and --aws-region options
- Implement automatic AWS RDS auth token generation in MySQL adapter
- Auto-enable SSL for AWS IAM authentication (required by RDS)
- Add comprehensive error handling for AWS credential issues
- Update documentation with AWS IAM authentication examples
- Maintain backward compatibility with existing authentication methods

Resolves the need for secure AWS RDS connections without hardcoded passwords.
