Add starter-workflows for Policy Validator, removed references to Git… #3

# This workflow uses actions that are not certified by GitHub.
# They are provided by a third-party and are governed by
# separate terms of service, privacy policy, and support
# documentation.
# This workflow will validate the IAM policies in the terraform (TF) templates with using the standard and custom checks in AWS IAM Access Analyzer
# To use this workflow, you will need to complete the following set up steps before start using it:
# 1. Configure an AWS IAM role to use the Access Analyzer's ValidatePolicy, CheckNoNewAccess and CheckAccessNotGranted. This IAM role must be configured to call from the GitHub Actions, use the following [doc](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/security/use-iam-roles-to-connect-github-actions-to-actions-in-aws/) for steps.
# 2. If you're using CHECK_NO_NEW_ACCESS policy-check-type, you need to create a reference policy. Use the guide [here](https://github.com/aws-samples/iam-access-analyzer-custom-policy-check-samples?tab=readme-ov-file#how-do-i-write-my-own-reference-policies) and store it your GitHub repo.
# 3. If you're using the CHECK_ACCESS_NOT_GRANTED policy-check-type, identify the list of critical actions that shouldn't be granted access by the policies in the TF templates.
# 4. Start using the GitHub actions by generating the GitHub events matching the defined criteria in your workflow.

env:
AWS_ROLE: ${{ secrets.POLICY_VALIDATOR_ROLE }} # set this with the role ARN which has permissions to invoke access-analyzer:ValidatePolicy,access-analyzer:CheckNoNewAccess, access-analyzer:CheckAccessNotGranted and can be used in GitHub actions
REGION: us-west-2 # set this to your preferred AWS region where you plan to deploy your policies, e.g. us-west-1
TEMPLATE_PATH: test/check-no-new-access/tf/test_plan.json # set this to the file path to the terraform plan in JSON
ACTIONS: 'cloudformation:*, s3:*' # set to pass list of actions in the format action1, action2,.. This is required if you are using `CHECK_ACCESS_NOT_GRANTED` policy-check-type.
REFERENCE_POLICY: test/check-no-new-access/tf/reference-policy.json # set to pass a JSON formatted file that specifies the path to the reference policy that is used for a permissions comparison. For example, if you stored such path in a GitHub secret with name REFERENCE_IDENTITY_POLICY , you can pass ${{ secrets.REFERENCE_IDENTITY_POLICY }}. If not you have the reference policy in the repository, you can directly pass it's path. This is required if you are using `CHECK_NO_NEW_ACCESS_CHECK` policy-check-type.
REFERENCE_POLICY_TYPE: IDENTITY # set to pass the policy type associated with the IAM policy under analysis and the reference policy. This is required if you are using `CHECK_NO_NEW_ACCESS_CHECK` policy-check-type.
