feat: add processCredentialTimeout option to token command

[atishpatel]

This update introduces a new flag --process-credential-timeout to the token command, allowing users to specify a timeout for the AWS credential_process execution. The timeout value can be set to a positive duration, overriding the SDK's default of 1 minute. The change includes updates to the GetTokenOptions struct and the associated binding in the command initialization.

What this PR does / why we need it:

• Adds an optional --process-credential-timeout flag to the token command to control the AWS credential_process timeout.
• Plumbs the flag through GetTokenOptions.ProcessCredentialTimeout and applies it via config.WithProcessCredentialOptions to set processcreds.Options.Timeout.
• Default behavior is unchanged: if the flag is omitted or set to 0, the SDK’s default (1 minute) is used.
• Needed for environments where dual-control approval flows routinely exceed 60s; reduces spurious “credential process timed out” failures.

Implementation highlights:

• pkg/token/token.go: added ProcessCredentialTimeout time.Duration to GetTokenOptions; set timeout in LoadDefaultConfig when > 0.
• cmd/aws-iam-authenticator/token.go: added --process-credential-timeout flag (Duration), bound with viper, and passed to GetTokenOptions.
• No server-side changes; purely client-side and backward-compatible.

Testing:

• I verified no timeout at 60s with flag.
• Omit the flag to confirm behavior remains unchanged.

Hi @atishpatel. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a kubernetes-sigs member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.
