Add example AWS keys to allowlist for Secret Detection

Release notes

Problem to solve

Our Secret Detection analyzer currently detects AWS tokens as secrets even if those tokens end in "EXAMPLE". This is a common false positive because the AWS documentation uses AKIAI44QH8DHBEXAMPLE in their documentation examples. This example token is commonly used as placeholders and in code comments and should be ignored.

Proposal

1. Create an allow list regular expression to ignore secret detection findings for AWS tokens that end in EXAMPLE.
