Aditya Manthramurthy 890f43ffa5 Map policy to parent for STS (#13884) ...

When STS credentials are created for a user, a unique (hopefully stable) parent
user value exists for the credential, which corresponds to the user for whom the
credentials are created. The access policy is mapped to this parent-user and is
persisted. This helps ensure that all STS credentials of a user have the same
policy assignment at all times.

Before this change, for an OIDC STS credential, when the policy claim changes in
the provider (when not using RoleARNs), the change would not take effect on
existing credentials, but only on new ones.

To support existing STS credentials without parent-user policy mappings, we
lookup the policy in the policy claim value. This behavior should be deprecated
when such support is no longer required, as it can still lead to stale
policy mappings.

Additionally this change also simplifies the implementation for all non-RoleARN
STS credentials. Specifically, for AssumeRole (internal IDP) STS credentials,
policies are picked up from the parent user's policies; for
AssumeRoleWithCertificate STS credentials, policies are picked up from the
parent user mapping created when the STS credential is generated.
AssumeRoleWithLDAP already picks up policies mapped to the virtual parent user.
