AWS Cognito user pool deletion fails due to deletion protection #989

Encountered an error when I tried to remove the AWS Cognito User pool due to the enabled deletion protection. The issue becomes even more complex when aws-nuke removes the service role that manages the user pool, which makes removing the pool undoable unless you contact AWS Support to remove it.

I believe aws-nuke should be updated to disable deletion protection of the user pool before attempting to delete it.
