aws-cdk-lib uses aws-sdk@2 although it's deprecated

[JoshMcCullough]

Running a CDK deploy shows the message indicating that AWS SDK v2 is deprecated, but I cannot remove this dependency as:

1. It's used by the latest/current aws-cdk-lib (CredentialProviderSource), and therefore
2. I can't upgrade my implementation of CredentialProviderSource to remove my own dependency on aws-sdk@2.

When will aws-cdk-lib no longer depend on aws-sdk@2 so I can fully upgrade?

aws-cdk-lib is no longer using AWS SDK v2, so this is resolved. Here's how to implement the new credential chain: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/v3/latest/Package/-aws-sdk-credential-providers/#createcredentialchain
