Refactoring of `smithy-rules-engine` for code generation

[kstich]

Describe the feature

The package smithy-rules-engine has undergone a major refactoring in an effort to improve validation, separate AWS and non-AWS concerns, add a specification, and better align with Smithy's coding standards. A code-stable pull request is available here. General notes are provided in individual commit messages. The format of the rules documents have not changed, meaning a successful migration to the refactored codebase will involve no changes to code generated for an SDK client.

The Smithy team plans to release this update on August 15th, 2023. Please reach out to us for any additional information or concerns.

[kstich]

To account for upcoming traits to simplify the AWS endpoints modeling story for service teams, the AWS-specific components in this work have moved from smithy-aws-rules-engine to smithy-aws-endpoints. No other changes to the code within the package has been made.

To accomodate this change, we're pushing the planned release of the refactoring to August 22nd, 2023.
