Alpha Relase

What's Changed

First full release of the FinOps++ Assessment tool. This Alpha release is released as is, with the expectation that things in the alpha are subject to rapid changes as FinOps++ works to improve the assessment and framework information for an eventual full release. As such, use this with a grain-of-salt. And keep an eye out for changes.
