Option to Directly Specify taskDefinitionArn as an Input Parameter

[miltonhit]

Description of changes:
Added conditional logic to support both direct task definition ARN or task definition files in ECS task registration.

With this enhancement, you will be able to create or register your task definition using external tools like CloudFormation, Amazon CDK, or the Serverless Framework. Once registered, simply submit it here for streamlined deployment and await a successful response.

I was looking for this option, is it something that has been considered for merge?

[crissdev]

It would be great to have that feature.

Suggested change

	registerResponse = await ecs.registerTaskDefinition(taskDefContents).promise();
	registerResponse = await ecs.registerTaskDefinition(taskDefContents);

Is there a way we can get this merged? This is support I'd love to see. If @miltonhit isn't responsive here should I open a new PR which resolves the conflicts?

Edit: I raised a PR here which implements this in a way which is compatible with the v3 API. We've started using this internally so I'm pretty confident it works sufficiently.
