Description
The terraform CI job did not allow initialising via SSH, only HTTPS. If a module reference used SSH, the check would soft fail.
A new github secret has been created called TERRAFORM_DEPLOY_KEY. This contains the private key for an SSH pair. Access to this secret has been granted to all repos with terraform in the title to prevent this causing failures.
The public key should be added to all terraform module repos to allow SSH authentication.
I have also ran some formatting tools from our SRE toolkit.

How this has been tested
Copied this workflow to the terraform-cloudfront repo and tested there. Modules were successfully initialised where they failed previously.
