There have been a few support questions raised recently about very
confusing error messages similar to the following:
```
RespMetadata: {
StatusCode: 400,
RequestID: "FVRLJR89DF3H16H4NS9I2SM6R7VV4KQNSO5AEMVJF66Q9ASUAAJG"
},
Message_: "The conditional request failed"
}, failed to create db <db>
ConditionalCheckFailedException: The conditional request failed
```
This error is returned because a resource that already exists is
trying to be created again, and when DynamoDB detects this it
returns a ConditionalCheckFailedException. Instead of returning
these confusing error messages directly to users we can intercept
them and provide a clearer message.
Apps, Databases, Desktops and KubernetesClusters have all been
updated to catch AlreadyExists errors on Create and NotFound errors
on Update and alter the message returned to something similar to
`resource "foo" does not exist` or `resource "foo" already exists`.
