Improve support for AWS GovCloud

[jeanduplessis]

What problem are you facing?

Support for AWS GovCloud is lacking in the provider today. We need to implement proper support for it.

Examples of issues users have faced so far:

• Provider-AWS does not support GovCloud Partition IDs #820
• IAM resources fail in isolated AWS partitions (e.g. AWS GovCloud) unless AWS_DEFAULT_REGION set #757

How could Official AWS Provider help solve your problem?

Implement proper support for GovCloud.

Consider looking at how crossplane-contrib/provider-aws deals with this:

• Allow usage of IAM/S3 resources in non-standard partitions provider-aws#1329
• let aws go sdk detect partition and region in irsa provider-aws#1364

One difficulty in supporting this using upjet is that when writing an ExternalName configuration, the region is available, but not the partition.

What if we had an ARNBuilder function or something, for use in constructing ARNs, which knew which regions are in which partitions? That could also help DRY up some of the string concatenation used in external name configurations, where we're currently assuming the aws-commercial partition, for e.g. iam policy, sns topic, elasticsearch domain, state functions, and others
