DynamoDB resource policy was implemented in as a standalone resource, making it impractical for global tables.

Description

I've placed a feature request for DynamoDB resource policies https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-aws/issues/36569.

It was closed as a duplicate of https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-aws/issues/36502, and the feature was implemented according to the 36302.

One ticket asked for the resource policy to be an attribute of aws_dynamodb_table, and the other asked for a brand new resource.

The current implementation, with the new aws_dynamodb_resource_policy makes it impossible to create global tables via aws_dynamodb_table (via the global_secondary_index attribute). When a global table is created only the attributes of the aws_dynamodb_table resource are duplicated.
