Disallow use of SingleNestedBlock in resource schemas

[ewbankkit]

The use of SingleNestedBlock resource schemas for resources implemented using Terraform Plugin Framework is problematic.
NestedBlocks have no Required/Optional/Computed flags – they are effectively always there, so an “Optional” SingleNestedBlock doesn’t work as expected if the block isn’t present in configuration (e.g. Required attributes).
The pattern with Terraform Plugin SDK v2 is to use ListNestedBlock with SizeAtMost(1) and then a missing block is equivalent to an empty list. In fact SingleNestedBlocks are not available in Terraform Plugin SDK v2.

Relates #34664.

There are only 3 uses in the current codebase:

% grep SingleNestedBlock internal/service/*/*.go
internal/service/bedrock/model_invocation_logging_configuration.go:			"logging_config": schema.SingleNestedBlock{
internal/service/bedrock/model_invocation_logging_configuration.go:					"cloudwatch_config": schema.SingleNestedBlock{
internal/service/bedrock/model_invocation_logging_configuration.go:							"large_data_delivery_s3_config": schema.SingleNestedBlock{
internal/service/bedrock/model_invocation_logging_configuration.go:					"s3_config": schema.SingleNestedBlock{
internal/service/opensearchserverless/security_config.go:			"saml_options": schema.SingleNestedBlock{
internal/service/opensearchserverless/security_config_data_source.go:			"saml_options": schema.SingleNestedBlock{
internal/service/verifiedpermissions/schema.go:			"definition": schema.SingleNestedBlock{

Add a semgrep rule to prevent additional occurrences and migrate the existing occurrences to ListNestedBlocks.
