Support passing custom aws provider

[olds463]

For multi-region deployments it'd be nice to add to your modules an AWS provider configuration so we may duplicate the modules for multiple regions

example:

  providers = { aws = aws.ca-central-1 }

Hi,
sorry i don't understand what you want. From my point of view, module code should be independent of tthe region. If i need to use my module in different region, i will do something like this 👍

# define provider in main region
provider "aws" {
  region = "eu-central-1"
}
# define provider in DR region
provider "aws" {
  alias  = "dr_region"
  region = "eu-west-1"
}

# deploy module on main region
module "ssm_main" {
  ...
}

# deploy module on dr region
module "ssm_dr" {
  providers = {
    aws = aws.dr_region
  }
  ...
}

Hmm I receive the following on latest terraform

│ Warning: Provider aws is undefined
│ 
│   on maintenance-windows.tf line 85, in module "ssm-patch-management-canada":
│   85:   providers = { aws = aws.ca-central-1 }
│ 
│ Module module.ssm-patch-management-canada does not declare a provider named aws.
│ If you wish to specify a provider configuration for the module, add an entry for aws in the required_providers block within the module.
│ 
│ (and 2 more similar warnings elsewhere)

In your modules you need todo something like the below ( i think, atleast i works when I copy your module local)

terraform {
  required_providers {
    aws = {
      source                = "hashicorp/aws"
      version               = ">= 2.7.0"
    }
  }
}
