Add an export primitive to use with eval to simplify exporting variables

[justindho]

Describe the feature

The feature would add an export subcommand to the CLI's aws configure command. With this feature, I could then switch between profiles that have specific sets of environment variables associated with them easily. For example, to export the environment variables associated with the profile myprofile, I could run

eval aws configure export --profile myprofile

To go back to the default profile and its associated environment variables, I could run

eval aws configure export

Use Case

Some of the tools I use require a set of environment varialbe(s) to be set. Switching from one profile to another is painful. This feature would simplify switching profiles (and setting their associated environment variables) by running the single aws configure export ... command.

Proposed Solution
