Initial module setup

Description

The initial release of the state_machine module.

Changelog available here.

TL; DR

A new terraform module to allow creation of n state machines.

NEW

• For each dictionary provided, this module:
  • Creates a new state machine, optionally using terraform template syntax to allow for differing inputs per environment
  • Creates an associated IAM role for the state machine to use
  • Bootstraps the IAM role with policies to allow it to:
    • Interact with Cloudwatch logs
    • List its own execute status
  • Associates user-defined policies with the IAM role

Please see examples folder for example instantiation of module.
