fix(appmesh): Move Client Policy from Virtual Service to backend stru…

…cture (#12943)

@sshver:
 
> Client Policies are inherently not related to the Virtual Service. It should be thought of as the client (the VN) telling envoy what connections they want to allow to the server (the Virtual Service). The server shouldn't be the one to define what policies are used to enforce connections with itself.

## Description of changes
I refactored the client policy from Virtual Service to a separate backend structure. This mirrors how our API is designed. Also ran `npm run lint -- --fix` and removed some comments to fix lint warnings.

```ts
/* Old backend defaults */
backendsDefaultClientPolicy: appmesh.ClientPolicy.fileTrust({
  certificateChain: 'path-to-certificate',
}),

/* result of this PR */
backendDefaults: {
  clientPolicy: appmesh.ClientPolicy.fileTrust({
    certificateChain: 'path-to-certificate',
  }),
},
```

```ts
/* Old Virtual Service with client policy */
const service1 = new appmesh.VirtualService(stack, 'service-1', {
  virtualServiceName: 'service1.domain.local',
  virtualServiceProvider: appmesh.VirtualServiceProvider.none(mesh),
  clientPolicy: appmesh.ClientPolicy.fileTrust({
    certificateChain: 'path-to-certificate',
    ports: [8080, 8081],
  }),
});

/* result of this PR; client policy is defined in the Virtual Node */
const service1 = new appmesh.VirtualService(stack, 'service-1', {
  virtualServiceName: 'service1.domain.local',
  virtualServiceProvider: appmesh.VirtualServiceProvider.none(mesh),
});

const node = new appmesh.VirtualNode(stack, 'test-node', {
  mesh,
  serviceDiscovery: appmesh.ServiceDiscovery.dns('test'),
});

node.addBackend({
  virtualService: service1,
  clientPolicy: appmesh.ClientPolicy.fileTrust({
    certificateChain: 'path-to-certificate',
    ports: [8080, 8081],
  }),
});
```

BREAKING CHANGE: Backend, backend default and Virtual Service client policies structures are being altered
* **appmesh**: you must use the backend default interface to define backend defaults in `VirtualGateway`.
  The property name also changed from `backendsDefaultClientPolicy` to `backendDefaults`
* **appmesh**:  you must use the backend default interface to define backend defaults in `VirtualNode`,
  (the property name also changed from `backendsDefaultClientPolicy` to `backendDefaults`),
  and the `Backend` class to define a backend
* **appmesh**: you can no longer attach a client policy to a `VirtualService`

Resolves #11996

 The `listeners` property can be left blank and added later with the `node.addListener()` method. The `healthcheck` and `timeout` properties are optional but if specifying a listener, the `port` must be added.
 
 The `backends` property can be added with `node.addBackend()`. We define a virtual service and add it to the virtual node to allow egress traffic to other node.
