[New ephemeral]: aws_ssm_parameter should be available as an ephemeral source

[mimozell]

Description

I would like to be able to fetch/create SecureString SSM parameters and not have them be added to the state. This is what currently happens when using the data or resource sources and the ephemeral source would work well for this.

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

ephemeral "aws_ssm_parameter" parameter

Potential Terraform Configuration

ephemeral "aws_ssm_parameter" parameter {
  name = "/path/to/parameter"
}
