Feature request - support --profile (consistency with aws cli)

[eranation]

In order to switch a profile, in aws cli one can either use environment variables or use the --profile parameter. For consistency it would be nice if cdk cli would have the same support.

Duplicate of #480.

How do you use this option? These commands both result in the default profile being quietly used instead of the specified my-profile:

cdk --profile my-profile deploy
cdk deploy --profile my-profile

Meanwhile this works using the same profile:

AWS_PROFILE=my-profile cdk deploy

Version: 0.8.2 (build 934ca5f)

Can you post a trace of running with -v?

@rix0rrr I tested now with AWS CDK version 0.18.1 (build 9f7af21) and it's working correctly with cdk --profile my-profile, thanks.
