Setting up Project.hcl for a project

Every project will own their own project.hcl file, in their devops 1password vault.

When they want to do deployment with it, the team's ops delegate will share it with the vault "Ops-project hcl files"

It should have a name similar to this: ctj_project.hcl - last updated 2022-07-20

After it's used by the ops team, it should be deleted from the ops team members local machine.
