[Enhancement]: DMS aws_dms_replication_task descriptive ARN

[RobbertDM]

Description

In the AWS console, when creating a new DMS replication task, you can set a Task identifier, but also an ARN:

Descriptive Amazon Resource Name (ARN) - optional
A friendly name to override the default DMS ARN. You cannot modify it after creation

That way, you don't end up with unpredictable ARNs for ReplicationTasks, like
arn:aws:dms:eu-west-3:123456789012:task:KAEGH2KCHYX4SVGK34ZFEDMG5VGASMXBXDXZ7ZI
but rather
arn:aws:dms:eu-west-3:123456789012:task:my-descriptive-task .

In the AWS API, this field is called ResourceIdentifier

Affected Resource(s) and/or Data Source(s)

aws_dms_replication_task

Potential Terraform Configuration

# Create a new replication task
resource "aws_dms_replication_task" "test" {
  cdc_start_time            = "1993-05-21T05:50:00Z"
  migration_type            = "full-load"
  replication_instance_arn  = aws_dms_replication_instance.test-dms-replication-instance-tf.replication_instance_arn
  replication_task_id       = "test-dms-replication-task-tf"
  replication_task_settings = "..."
  source_endpoint_arn       = aws_dms_endpoint.test-dms-source-endpoint-tf.endpoint_arn
  table_mappings            = "{\"rules\":[{\"rule-type\":\"selection\",\"rule-id\":\"1\",\"rule-name\":\"1\",\"object-locator\":{\"schema-name\":\"%\",\"table-name\":\"%\"},\"rule-action\":\"include\"}]}"

  tags = {
    Name = "test"
  }

  target_endpoint_arn = aws_dms_endpoint.test-dms-target-endpoint-tf.endpoint_arn
  resource_identifier = "my-descriptive-resource-identifier"
}

Thanks a lot for your work @nikhil-goenka
I guess the same applies for aws_dms_endpoint, aws_dms_s3_endpoint and aws_dms_replication_instance.
TBH it's a bit weird to me that DMS has this field and doesn't just use the name to generate an ARN like other services 🤷
