Description of your changes

Add two new management policy combinations to support safer resource importing and external lifecycle management scenarios:

  1. Import Mode: A new policy combination that allows safe importing of existing resources by only permitting observation and late initialization, without making any changes to the external resource.

    • Actions: [Observe, LateInitialize]
    • Use case: Safely discover and import existing cloud resources into Crossplane without risk of modifying them
  2. External Lifecycle Management: A policy combination for resources whose lifecycle (creation/deletion) is managed outside of Crossplane, but allows Crossplane to make updates and track state.

    • Actions: [Observe, Update, LateInitialize]
    • Use case: Integration with external provisioning systems while maintaining Crossplane's ability to manage resource configuration

Fixes #681,
