aws-stepfunctions-tasks for starting Glue job run

[sarchila]

As mentioned in https://docs.aws.amazon.com/step-functions/latest/dg/connect-glue.html, one can trigger an AWS Glue job run and monitor its state synchronously from Step Functions using a Step Functions state, as shown in the example:

    "Glue StartJobRun": {
      "Type": "Task",
      "Resource": "arn:aws:states:::glue:startJobRun.sync",
      "Parameters": {
        "JobName": "GlueJob-JTrRO5l98qMG"
      },
      "Next": "ValidateOutput"
    },

This request is for a feature, similar to @aws-cdk/aws-stepfunctions-tasks.RunLambdaTask, @aws-cdk/aws-stepfunctions-tasks.RunEcsFargateTask, etc, but for an AWS Glue job - perhaps called @aws-cdk_aws-stepfunctions-tasks.RunGlueJobTask

Use Case

For use in creation of Step Functions definitions with Glue job states.

Proposed Solution

Implementation would likely be very similar to https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/blob/v1.18.0/packages/%40aws-cdk/aws-stepfunctions-tasks/lib/run-lambda-task.ts, but with tweaks to have the "Resource" arn always point to "arn:aws:states:::glue:startJobRun.sync" with the proposed @aws-cdk_aws-stepfunctions-tasks.RunGlueJobTask interface only requiring the Glue "JobName".
