Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**

As you mentioned in the readme:

```
Sourcing of rules from external locations such as GitHub Release and S3 bucket. If you want this feature natively in Guard, please raise an issue or +1 an existing issue.
```

I didn't see an existing issue yet, so I'd thought I'd raise one...

**Describe the solution you'd like**

The goal is to create a GitHub action for cfn-guard and integrate it into our projects. But we don't want to copy/paste the cfn-guard rules to each project. Therefore it would be nice to import rules from an external location such as GitHub or S3 with a [flag] on the command line.

**Describe alternatives you've considered**

No alternatives are available.

**Additional context**

Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the README passage about sourcing rules from GitHub Release and S3, then inspect the cfn-guard command-line interface. Define the requested flag and supported external locations, and verify that projects can import rules without copying them locally.
