* [Policy Store] Add policyTypeCode to Slice/Index for Future Filtering Support and Update Policy Persistence Method (apache#1628)

This PR adds policyTypeCode to the in-memory tree map store's slice and the SQL index on policy_mapping_records (already done in JDBC in apache#1468). This prepares for future features that need to filter efficiently by policy type, like listing all entities with a data compaction policy.

It also updates the loadAllTargetsOnPolicy method to accept policyTypeCode, enabling it to use the new index for better performance.

  test FileIO implementations

* Refactor: Use per-request STS credentials (apache#1629)

* Refactor: Use per-request STS credentials

No functional changes.

This is mostly to allow more storage integration
flexibility in downstream build.

This might also be useful for non-AWS storage.

* fix and enforce more errorprone checks (apache#1663)

enforces the following checks:

* Create a wrapper script to generate python client; regenerate the python client (apache#1347)

As noted in apache#755 and elsewhere, the generated types in client/python are currently out of date. This introduces a script to regenerate them and a gradle task to run that script.

I've also run the script, which necessitated several things to get tests passing:

1. There were small nonfunctional spec changes needed in order to keep the Python client working
2. The CLI and its tests required a few fixes to work with the updated Python client
3. Many of the regtests required fixes to work with the updated Python client

* [Python Client] CI for Python client (Continue PR#1096) (apache#1639)

Adds CI for python client. It does not include caching poetry step for now since we do not have poetry.lock (it is in .gitignore), see relevant discussion in: apache#1102 (comment), apache#1096 (comment), we can add that later
