feat(cdk): treat the "fake" CFN intrinsics (Fn::GetArtifactAtt, Fn::G…

…etParam) specially when stringifying JSON. (#1605)

Fn::GetArtifactAtt and Fn::GetParam are not really intrinsics,
they're functions that can be used only in CodePipeline CFN Actions,
in the `parameterOverride` property.

More information: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/continuous-delivery-codepipeline-parameter-override-functions.html

Fixes #1588
