[Enhancement]: r/aws_lakeformation_resource: Add `use_service_linked_role` argument

[jar-b]

Description

This argument currently gets set to true internally by the provider if role_arn is not provided. This becomes a problem for certain resource types (such as Redshift data shares) which require both RoleArn and UseServiceLinkedRole to be omitted.

https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-aws/blob/85b0843d0b3963876fcff0c5f55259239de8a558/internal/service/lakeformation/resource.go#L59-L63

Instead of doing this internally, expose the argument so practitioners can configure explicity. To preserve backward compatibility, the existing logic setting the value to true when role_arn is omitted should be preserved for the 5.X series. In 6.X this can be removed in favor of aligning arguments with the underlying AWS API.

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

• aws_lakeformation_resource

Potential Terraform Configuration

resource "aws_lakeformation_resource" "test" {
  arn                     = "arn:aws:redshift:us-west-2:012345678901:datashare:abcd-1234/test_share"
  use_service_linked_role = false
}
