Investigation of failing SAMcli Integration Tests

The SAMcli direct and vm workflows have been consistently failing. I have investigated this and determined they are issues with CI testing, and not the actual integration between Finch and SAMcli.

The primary issue is with secrets.REGION needing to be explicitly set to us-east-1 for some tests, evident through the illegal location constraint exception in package and sync tests. In a PR for testing, all but one samcli-direct workflows pass after forcing this region. There is one test that fails simply due to credentials not being long-lived enough.

I am still working on getting samcli-vm tests to pass in CI, but the tests pass locally when using mainline Finch and finch-daemon. Again, this suggests issues with CI testing.

With this evidence, we can proceed with the Finch release. However, SAMcli tests should be stabilized in CI before next release.
