Policy variables in the resource element not supported
Hi, 
example policy:

```json
{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
  {
      "Sid": "BucketAccess",
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": [
        "s3:GetBucketLocation",
        "s3:GetBucketVersioning",
        "s3:GetEncryptionConfiguration",
        "s3:ListBucket",
        "s3:ListBucketMultipartUploads",
        "s3:ListBucketVersions"
      ],
      "Resource": "arn:aws:s3::bucket-for-client-${aws:PrincipalTag/Namespace}-*"
    }
]
}
```
Policy variable ${aws:PrincipalTag/Namespace} causes:
```json
{
    "description": "",
    "detail": [
        {
            "action": "s3:GetBucketLocation",
            "required_format": "arn:*:s3:::*"
        },
        {
            "action": "s3:GetBucketVersioning",
            "required_format": "arn:*:s3:::*"
        },
        {
            "action": "s3:GetEncryptionConfiguration",
            "required_format": "arn:*:s3:::*"
        },
        {
            "action": "s3:ListBucket",
            "required_format": "arn:*:s3:::*"
        },
        {
            "action": "s3:ListBucketMultipartUploads",
            "required_format": "arn:*:s3:::*"
        },
        {
            "action": "s3:ListBucketVersions",
            "required_format": "arn:*:s3:::*"
        }
    ],
    "issue": "RESOURCE_MISMATCH",
    "location": {
        "column": 3,
        "filepath": "main.json",
        "line": 4
    },
    "match": true,
    "severity": "MEDIUM",
    "title": "No resources match for the given action"
}
```

Maybe extending this condition https://github.com/duo-labs/parliament/blob/main/parliament/__init__.py#L118 by some regexp will be good enough for start ? ;) ( ex. (?P<Variable>\${aws:.*}) )

Take care!
