Description

## Description
Multiple customers requested us to reduce the number of roles automatically created by cdk library. Since service role is applied to pipeline stage actions if no action role provided(codepipeline backend logic), we propose to add a flag in pipeline config to allow customer use pipeline service role as action role. Besides, when using CodeBuildFactory, we propose to allow customized role for CodeBuildOption in L3 construct.

```
interface PipelineProps {
....
public readonly enablePipelineRoleForActions?: boolean; // false as default;
}

```
```
export interface CodeBuildOptions {
....
readonly role?: iam.Role;
}
```
