Improve Route53 configuration documentation, input validation and consider using default IAM role #2378

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I just spent several hours trying to determine why I was receiving "Unable to reach credentials server" when using the Route53 plugin. This was caused by an IAM role ARN being used rather than an IAM role name. It's very common to use ARNs in most cases and I wouldn't be surprised if more than just myself are hitting this issue.

Describe the solution you'd like
I think this situation can be improved several ways

Describe alternatives you've considered
I worked around this problem by looking at the source code, determining the issue was with InstanceProfileAWSCredentials and looking at what input that method called (name not ARN).

Additional context
Hopefully this issue at the very least provides a result in Google for other users running into this problem.
