Adds a new Prowler check to detect secrets in CodePipeline pipeline definitions.

The check scans all stage/action configuration values using the shared Kingfisher-based detect_secrets_scan_batch helper, following the same pattern as the existing datapipeline_pipeline_no_secrets_in_definition check.

The codepipeline_service.py has been updated to also store the full pipeline definition (stages) from the get_pipeline API response.

Closes #11808

CodePipeline secret scanning

Layer / File(s) Summary
Pipeline definition retrieval
prowler/providers/aws/services/codepipeline/codepipeline_service.py, tests/providers/aws/services/codepipeline/codepipeline_service_test.py
The CodePipeline model now stores stages and actions in definition. Service tests verify the retrieved source configuration.
Definition secret check
prowler/providers/aws/services/codepipeline/codepipeline_pipeline_no_secrets_in_definition/codepipeline_pipeline_no_secrets_in_definition.py, prowler/providers/aws/services/codepipeline/codepipeline_pipeline_no_secrets_in_definition/codepipeline_pipeline_no_secrets_in_definition.metadata.json
The new check scans action configuration values, reports detected secrets without exposing values, escalates validated secrets, and marks scan errors as MANUAL.
Secret check validation
tests/providers/aws/services/codepipeline/codepipeline_pipeline_no_secrets_in_definition/codepipeline_pipeline_no_secrets_in_definition_test.py
Tests cover clean, empty, detected-secret, validated-secret, and scanner-error results.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 31f8c

This PR adds localized detection for secrets in CodePipeline definitions and stores the pipeline stages needed for scanning. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.
