parse botocore.endpoint logs into a list of AWS actions (#49312)

Browse source 
* Add an option to parse botocore.endpoint logs for the AWS actions performed during a task

Add a callback to consolidate all AWS actions used by modules

Added some documentation to the AWS guidelines

* Enable aws_resource_actions callback only for AWS tests

* Add script to help generate policies

* Set debug_botocore_endpoint_logs via environment variable for all AWS integration tests

Ensure AWS tests inherit environment

(also remove AWS CLI in aws_rds inventory tests and use the module)

As explained in the [Integration Test guide](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/dev_guide/testing_integration.html#iam-policies-for-aws)
there are defined IAM policies in `hacking/aws_config/testing_policies/` that contain the necessary permissions
to run the AWS integration test.
to run the AWS integration test. The permissions used by CI are more restrictive than those in `hacking/aws_config/testing_policies`; for CI we want
the most restrictive policy possible that still allows the given tests to pass.
If your module is interacting with a new service or otherwise requires new permissions you must update the
appropriate policy file to grant the permissions needed to run your integration test.
If your module interacts with a new service or otherwise requires new permissions, tests will fail when you submit a pull request and the
[Ansibullbot](https://github.com/ansible/ansibullbot/blob/master/ISSUE_HELP.md) will tag your PR as needing revision.
We do not automatically grant additional permissions to the roles used by the continuous integration builds. You must provide the minimum IAM permissions required to run your integration test.
There is no process for automatically granting additional permissions to the roles used by the continuous
integration builds, so the tests will initially fail when you submit a pull request and the
[Ansibullbot](https://github.com/ansible/ansibullbot/blob/master/ISSUE_HELP.md) will tag it as needing revision.
Once you're certain the failure is only due to the missing permissions, add a comment with the `ready_for_review`
If your PR has test failures, check carefully to be certain the failure is only due to the missing permissions. If you've ruled out other sources of failure, add a comment with the `ready_for_review`
tag and explain that it's due to missing permissions.
Your pull request cannot be merged until the tests are passing. If your pull request is failing due to missing permissions,
you must collect the minimum IAM permissions required to
run the tests.
There are two ways to figure out which IAM permissions you need for your PR to pass:
* Start with the most permissive IAM policy, run the tests to collect information about which resources your tests actually use, then construct a policy based on that output. This approach only works on modules that use `AnsibleAWSModule`.
* Start with the least permissive IAM policy, run the tests to discover a failure, add permissions for the resource that addresses that failure, then repeat. If your module uses `AnsibleModule` instead of `AnsibleAWSModule`, you must use this approach.
To start with the most permissive IAM policy:
1) [Create an IAM policy](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies_create.html#access_policies_create-start) that allows all actions (set `Action` and `Resource` to `*`).
2) Run your tests locally with this policy. On `AnsibleAWSModule`-based modules, the `debug_botocore_endpoint_logs` option is automatically set to `yes`, so you
should see a list of `AWS ACTIONS` after the `PLAY RECAP` showing all the permissions used. If your tests use a `boto`/`AnsibleModule` module, you must start with the least permissive policy (see below).
3) Modify your policy to allow only the actions your tests use. Restrict account, region, and prefix where possible. Wait a few minutes for your policy to update.
4) Run the tests again with a user or role that allows only the new policy.
5) If the tests fail, troubleshoot (see tips below), modify the policy, run the tests again, and repeat the process until the tests pass with a restrictive policy.
6) Share the minimum policy in a comment on your PR.
To start from the least permissive IAM policy:
1) Run the integration tests locally with no IAM permissions.
2) Examine the error when the tests reach a failure.
a) If the error message indicates the action used in the request, add the action to your policy.
b) If the error message does not indicate the action used in the request:
- Usually the action is a CamelCase version of the method name - for example, for an ec2 client the method `describe_security_groups` correlates to the action `ec2:DescribeSecurityGroups`.
- Refer to the documentation to identify the action.
c) If the error message indicates the resource ARN used in the request, limit the action to that resource.
d) If the error message does not indicate the resource ARN used:
- Determine if the action can be restricted to a resource by examining the documentation.
- If the action can be restricted, use the documentation to construct the ARN and add it to the policy.
3) Add the action or resource that caused the failure to [an IAM policy](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies_create.html#access_policies_create-start). Wait a few minutes for your policy to update.
4) Run the tests again with this policy attached to your user or role.
5) If the tests still fail at the same place with the same error you will need to troubleshoot (see tips below). If the first test passes, repeat steps 2 and 3 for the next error. Repeat the process until the tests pass with a restrictive policy.
6) Share the minimum policy in a comment on your PR.
Troubleshooting IAM policies:
- When you make changes to a policy, wait a few minutes for the policy to update before re-running the tests.
- Use the [policy simulator](https://policysim.aws.amazon.com/) to verify that each action (limited by resource when applicable) in your policy is allowed.
- If you're restricting actions to certain resources, replace resources temporarily with `*`. If the tests pass with wildcard resources, there is a problem with the resource definition in your policy.
- If the initial troubleshooting above doesn't provide any more insight, AWS may be using additional undisclosed resources and actions.
- Examine the AWS FullAccess policy for the service for clues.
- Re-read the AWS documentation, especially the [list of Actions, Resources and Condition Keys](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_policies_actions-resources-contextkeys.html) for the various AWS services.
- Look at the [cloudonaut](https://iam.cloudonaut.io) documentation as a troubleshooting cross-reference.
- Use a search engine.
- Ask in the Ansible IRC channel #ansible-aws.
Some cases where tests should be marked as unsupported:
1) The tests take longer than 10 or 15 minutes to complete
2) The tests create expensive resources
3) The tests create inline policies
