Previously, it was not possible to check a resource's configuration when the plan indicated the resource would be deleted entirely. This prevented custom checks from enforcing conventions around deletions. We now process pure delete actions from resource_changes. The "before" state is made available as the resource configuration, with __change_actions__ set to ["delete"].

Description
Checkov's Terraform plan scanning previously only processed resources from
planned_values, which excludes resources being purely deleted (action["delete"]).This prevented custom checks from validating deletion conditions (e.g., ensuring a resource is in an acceptable state before removal).
This PR extends the plan parser to extract resources with pure delete actions from
resource_changesand make them available to policy checks.The resource's "before" state is used as the configuration, with
__change_actions__set to["delete"].This would allow a policy to enforce specific resources attribute values before resource deletion.
Fixes #5587
