Adding additional guidance for how customers using Pod Identity can further restrict a Pod Identity IAM Role trust policy by clarifying what Request Tags the AssumeRole calls provide and including an example.

Issue #, if available: No issue number

Description of changes: Customers have been asking how to restrict Pod Identity IAM Roles to ensure only specific EKS cluster, namespaces, and/or ServiceAccounts can assume the role. The default Trust Policy is very open in comparison to IRSA and we don't have any good public documentation to help clarify to customers how to achieve this. Validated and tested the RequestTags and syntax to confirm they will restrict the IAM Role access further then the default Trust Policy.
