Description

This PR adds partial evaluation of template expressions used when writing AWS policies in Terraform. Those parts of the template that could not be evaluated due to errors or unknown values are replaced with __UNRESOLVED__ literal.

Would we be re-writing each expression on every call? Is there any way to somehow selectively do this only for the cases where we could potentially encounter an unknown value? My only concern asking this is about performance.

Rewriting will only occur for expressions in policy blocks. Is structure wrapping an expensive operation?
