cfn init for hooks shows warning/error about AWS credentials - should clarify

[mmaeng]

cfn init

should be stand alone and able to be done offline. It has no need to access AWS accounts but currently not having your environment set up will cause an exception for all languages.

Isn't this already the case (for init)?

on my machine:

~$ cfn --version
cfn 0.2.28

~$ aws sts get-caller-identity
Unable to locate credentials. You can configure credentials by running "aws configure".

~$ cfn init
Initializing new project
Do you want to develop a new resource(r) or a module(m) or a hook(h)?.
>> m
What's the name of your module type?
(<Organization>::<Service>::<Name>::MODULE)
>> Example::Service::Name::MODULE
Directory  /Users/ben/tmp/fragments  Created
Initialized a new project in /Users/ben/tmp

~$ ls
fragments/ rpdk.log

Thanks Ben!

For modules and resources that looks to be the case but for hooks it errors, and then proceeds to create the example anyway :P

$ cfn init -a hook -t test::test::test python38 --use-docker

Issue should be to clarify the error/warning during init for hooks
