Replace aws_iam_role_policy_attachment with aws_iam_user_policy_attachment and switch the attribute from `role` to `user`. This ensures `var.policies` are correctly attached to the created IAM user and prevents apply errors.

Description
Replace the incorrect resource type aws_iam_role_policy_attachment with aws_iam_user_policy_attachment.
Update arguments accordingly (role -> user) so attachments target the created IAM user (aws_iam_user.this[0].name).
No changes to input variables: var.policies remains a map and the for_each logic is unchanged.
Motivation and Context
The previous implementation attempted to attach policies using the role attachment resource for an IAM user, which is invalid.
Breaking Changes
Resource address change: from aws_iam_role_policy_attachment.additional to aws_iam_user_policy_attachment.additional.
Terraform will plan to replace these attachment resources on the next apply (destroy old, create new).
Impact: Brief re‑creation of policy attachments during apply. No persistent permission loss is expected.
