Create an action for an 'on Catalog item request start/end' policy

The on Catalog item request start trigger fires after the user opens a request form. The on Catalog item request end trigger fires after a user submits a request form. A policy that is triggered by the on Catalog item request start or on Catalog item request end trigger can run a script or execute a workflow.
