Description
### Describe the bug
If you have a stage that generates a lot of assets, the codepipeline role policy will get tons of stuff like this:
```
{
"Action": "sts:AssumeRole",
"Resource": "arn:aws:iam::XXXXX:role/asset1dockerassets10",
"Effect": "Allow"
}
```
eventually it falls appart and fails with: "Maximum policy size of 10240 bytes exceeded for ..."
It should be possible to pass a role when configuring the codepipeline, used for asset-generation (or pr account) or just a flag: "optOutOfLeastPrivilegeForAssetGeneration"
### Expected Behavior
The generated CF-stack not to increase with every new generated asset.
### Current Behavior
The generated CF-stack increases with every asset added to a pipeline stage.
### Reproduction Steps
create a codepipelinestack and observe that a role is generated for each stage asset.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with a codepipelinestack containing many assets and inspect the generated CF-stack and CodePipeline role policy. Determine whether the intended fix is a shared asset-generation role or an opt-out flag, then verify that adding assets no longer causes the policy to exceed the 10240-byte limit.
