dynamodb GlobalTable uses legacy 2017.11.29 API and cannot create 2019.11.21 replicas

[saatvik-chugh]

What happened?

Creating a DynamoDB GlobalTable via provider-aws fails because the provider appears to use the legacy GlobalTable API model (2017.11.29) instead of the current DynamoDB global tables version (2019.11.21).

Observed error:

create failed: cannot create GlobalTable in AWS: ValidationException: One or more parameter values were invalid: DynamoDB global tables version 2017.11.29 is not supported. We recommend using DynamoDB global tables version 2019.11.21, instead of version 2017.11.29 (Legacy). status code: 400

This was previously reported in #979, but that issue was closed as stale/not planned. Opening a new issue because this is still blocking current usage.

How can we reproduce it?

Try to create a DynamoDB GlobalTable with replicas using provider-aws.

Conceptual example:

apiVersion: dynamodb.aws.crossplane.io/v1alpha1
kind: GlobalTable
spec:
  forProvider:
    region: us-east-1
    replicationGroup:
      - regionName: us-east-1
      - regionName: us-west-2

What environment did it happen in?

Provider version: v0.56.0 / v0.58.0
Crossplane version:
Kubernetes version:
AWS regions:
Table billing mode:

Expected behavior

Provider-aws should support DynamoDB global tables version 2019.11.21, where replicas are managed through the Table replica configuration / current AWS API model, rather than the legacy 2017.11.29 GlobalTable API.
