The previous JSON validator that we were using for IAM policy documents wouldn't catch AWS IAM Policy errors.
The supplied policy document would pass our validator, then fail with the following API error:
```
* aws_iam_role_policy.foo: Error putting IAM role policy tf_test_policy_ymw7hbil9w: MalformedPolicyDocument: The policy failed legacy parsing
status code: 400, request id: e7615d90-3c99-11e7-babc-c14e741605bf
```
This happens if the Policy Document doesn't start with the opening JSON bracket, and often happens in the following case:
```
policy = <<EOF
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
...
}
]
}
EOF
```
Where, when using a HEREDOC, the policy document is indented incorrectly.
The new validation function for the IAM policies verifies that the first character of the supplied policy document is the leading JSON bracket, prior to validating the JSON string.

Although the aws_iam_policy has a problem of normalization (refs #8350),
I think it would be useful simply to add JSON syntax validation.
I wasted a lot of time with JSON syntax errors.
Validate the aws_iam_policy using the validateJsonString helper.
This landed in aws-sdk-go yesterday, breaking the AWS provider in many places:

Here, with much sedding, grepping, and manual massaging, we attempt to
catch Terraform up to the new `awserr.Error` interface world.
- Users
- Groups
- Roles
- Inline policies for the above three
- Instance profiles
- Managed policies
- Access keys
This is most of the data types provided by IAM. There are a few things
missing, but the functionality here is probably sufficient for 95% of
the cases. Makes a dent in #28.
