(aws-athena): Construct for Athena DynamoDB connector

[greg5123334]

Describe the feature

Hello, due to recent popular demand, I have an enhancement request to put forward. In essence, it would be great to have a Construct for Athena's DynamoDB connector.

Use Case

Whilst one is able to provision the connector manually in the service directly, automating this would be a great experience.

Would you kindly review this request for consideration as an enhancement, or please share any potential alternative solutions which I may not yet be aware of.

Thank you, and as always, please let me know if i can provide any further clarity or info.

Our athena module consists of only L1 resources. In other words, we currently only support what CloudFormation directly gives us to work with, with no abstractions.

We require that new L2 constructs which are created have an approved RFC before we can consider implementation.

As for the DynamoDB connector - I'm not too familiar with Athena, but it doesn't seem like CloudFormation directly supports this, which makes CDK support very difficult. I would head to the CloudFormation coverage roadmap to see if this is something they may be able to support. Once CloudFormation supports this, we would automatically support it through our L1 resources.
