Today, AppSync supports four authorization types - API_KEY, AWS_IAM, OPENID_CONNECT, and AMAZON_COGNITO_USER_POOLS. This PR adds support for a 5th type: AWS_LAMBDA. Customers will be able to create their own AWS Lambda function, which will determine whether to authorize each request based on an authorization token that the customer provides to Amplify.

The developer experience is very similar to OPENID_CONNECT. Today, customers can provide their own OIDC token to Amplify by implementing an OIDCTokenProvider, and providing it to the AWSApiPlugin like this:

mAWSAppSyncClient = AWSAppSyncClient.builder()
    .context(getApplicationContext())
    .awsConfiguration(new AWSConfiguration(getApplicationContext()))
   .oidcAuthProvider(() -> "MyOidcAuthToken")
    .build();

For AWS Lambda custom auth, developers can provide their own token by implementing a CustomAuthProvider like this:

mAWSAppSyncClient = AWSAppSyncClient.builder()
    .context(getApplicationContext())
    .awsConfiguration(new AWSConfiguration(getApplicationContext()))
    .awsLambdaAuthProvider(() -> "MyAwsLambdaAuthToken")
    .build();
