fix(codebuild): correctly handle permissions for Projects inside VPC.

A CodeBuild Project needs to have appropriate EC2 permissions on creation
when it uses a VPC. However, the default Policy that a Project Role has
depends on the Project itself (for CloudWatch Logs permissions).
Because of that, add a dependency between the Policy containing the EC2
permissions and the Project.

Also correctly handle the case when the Project's Role is imported.

BREAKING CHANGE: the method addToRoleInlinePolicy in CodeBuild's Project class has been removed.

Fixes #2651
Fixes #2652

comment out the imported check to see if it works now
