How to set a region with LoadDefaultConfig and shared profile

Question

Hello,

I am starting with Go SDK AWS v2 and I cannot figure out how to select a pre-configured profile and select region programically. I want to do this:

cfg, err := config.LoadDefaultConfig(context.TODO(), config.WithSharedConfigProfile("saml"))

But also this at the same time and I struggle to understand how to combine these two together:

cfg, err := config.LoadDefaultConfig(context.TODO(), config.WithRegion("us-east-1"))

Thanks!

`LoadDefaultConfig` will accept any number of the [`LoadOptions`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/config#LoadOptionsFunc) (`With...`) functions as arguments.  You should be able to do:
```
cfg, err := config.LoadDefaultConfig(context.TODO(), config.WithSharedConfigProfile("saml"), config.WithRegion("us-east-1"))
```

There's an example here: https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/config#example-package-Custom_config.
