Add issue-responder action agent

[afarntrog]

Description

This pull request introduces a new GitHub Actions workflow to automate responses to newly opened issues by invoking a a Strands agent hosted on AgentCore Runtime. The workflow is designed to trigger on issue creation, securely configure AWS credentials, and send relevant issue details to the AgentCore runtime. The strands agent will send the suggested response to Slack. Agent code and Slack details will be shared internally.

New GitHub Actions workflow for automated issue response:

• Added .github/workflows/issue-responder.yml to trigger on new GitHub issues and invoke AWS AgentCore Runtime with issue metadata for automated responses.

Integration with AWS services:

• Configures AWS credentials using aws-actions/configure-aws-credentials and securely passes necessary secrets for role assumption and AgentCore runtime ARN.
• Uses Node.js and the @aws-sdk/client-bedrock-agentcore package to construct and send a payload containing issue details to AgentCore, and outputs the response for logging.

Notes:
This is working on my forked repo. We can see the action here. Will internally share a link to the result.
