Description
Scope of request: AWS::IAM::ManagedPolicy does not support Tags property so cannot be tagged in CloudFormation templates. Tags are supported for IAM managed policies in the API and Console, so support for Tags on IAM policies is inconsistent.
Expected behavior: Tags property is supported by CloudFormation for the AWS::IAM::ManagedPolicy resource type, allowing AWS::IAM::ManagedPolicy resource types to be tagged in CloudFormation templates.
Links to existing API doc:
- (tags supported here) https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/APIReference/API_CreatePolicy.html
- (no tag support here) https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-iam-managedpolicy.html

Research direction
Start with the AWS::IAM::ManagedPolicy resource documentation and compare it with the linked IAM CreatePolicy API documentation, focusing on the existing Tags support. Done means CloudFormation accepts Tags for this resource type and allows managed policies to be tagged consistently with the API and console.
