Subject: [PATCH] Documenting the region parameter for resource providers

For sometime, resource providers have supported a "region" parameter. However, this parameter was never documented. This parameter is especially important for interactive authentication, which may fail when connecting to the default https://login.oci.oraclecloud.com endpoint (government regions require a different endpoint).

This branch simply updates the README to list "region" as a common parameter for resource providers, and explain how it can effect interactive authentication.
