When using the newer gitlab authentication token the SSM parameter should not be created by this module

Lines 2 to 14 in 6f684d3

	resource "aws_ssm_parameter" "runner_registration_token" {
	name = local.secure_parameter_store_runner_token_key
	type = "SecureString"
	value = "null"
	key_id = local.kms_key_arn
	tags = local.tags
	lifecycle {
	ignore_changes = [value]
	}
	}

When you want to use this (amazing!) module alongside gitlab_user_runner to create the runners in Gitlab, you will also want to provide your own aws_ssm_parameter resource containing the output of gitlab_user_runner.this.token as its value.

Passing that aws ssm param as the value to runner.gitlab.preregistered_runner_token_ssm_parameter_name works fine! However this module still creates the old parameter which is confusing and not used.

As runner_gitlab_registration_config.preregistered_runner_token_ssm_parameter_name is the preferred way, I am closing this.
