codepipeline: Add Branches and File Paths to CodePipeline pipeline GitPushFilter configuration

[wilhen01]

Describe the feature

Currently, as it seems, only tag-based filters are available (or exposed) in CodePipeline pipeline GitPushFilter configuration via tagsExcludes and tagsIncludes parameters. However, both Branches and FilePaths options exist in CloudFormation spec https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-properties-codepipeline-pipeline-gitpushfilter.html Can you please add the two missing configuration parameters? Thanks!

Use Case

Branch-based pipeline trigger.

Proposed Solution

Add branchesExclude, branchesInclude, filePathsExclude and filePathsInclude parameters to match CloudFormation spec.

Other Information

Previously raised as #29124 but the fix was reverted so opening this to track progress on actually getting it implemented.

There also appears to be a draft PR #30516 which goes some way to implementing this issue?

[ashishdhingra]

The workaround mentioned here is to use escape hatch. The filters Branches and FilePaths mentioned at AWS::CodePipeline::Pipeline GitPushFilter are missing from GitPushFilter.

The PR #30516 appears to deprecate existing filters in favor of CodeStarSourceConnection Source Action as in file diff.
