Sceptre Resolver for AWS SecretsManager

While AWS CloudFormation templates support the native dynamic references {{resolve:service-name:reference-key}} construct, it only supports a small list of resources notably excluding ones such as CloudFormation::Init and UserData. This resolver bridges that gap.

Please be sure to implement the best practice of adding NoEcho: true on any template parameter containing secrets if you are not already. This prevents exposing the value in the console, CLI, etc.
