Purpose
Instead of wrapping the DynamoDB calls with retrying in Akka Streams, the AWS SDK 2 built-in "retry with backoff" logic should be used.
References
This seems to be the answer to #767 (which was suggested when Alpakka used AWS SDK 1).
The AWS documentation is not up-to-date right now but indicates that this is a recommended approach.
Changes
RetryFlow
added in DynamoDb: AWS SDK2; Add tryFlow to be used with RetryFlow #1896overrideConfiguration
