[RDS Controller] can't remove deletion protection

[gecube]

1. instantiate DB with FluxCD from typical manifest with deletionProtection: true
2. wait till DB would be created
3. remove DB from FluxCD control repo
4. the DB won't be removed from the cluster because deletionProtection: true so we have discrepancy between gitrepo and the actual state
5. The DB WOULD NEVER removed even if I would try to manually patch the deletionProtection: false

I was able to remove database when following the next steps:

• remove removal protection from the Amazon UI
• then instantly patch the object in k8s to deletionProtection: false
• and then the DB was removed

also I checked that the removal of deletion protection on RDS does not help, it should be followed by changing the flag to deletionProtection: false
