Update Terraform AWS provider to 4.9+

Grant Young requested to merge gy-tf-aws-provider-upgrade into main

What does this MR do?

MR upgrades the Terraform AWS provider to 4.9+.

The AWS team have retracted various breaking changes that had no straight upgrade path in this version after notable backlash that make it suitable for us to upgrade to from 3.74.x.

This is required to support #203 (closed), which is the replacement for AWS Elasticsearch service and has new Terraform resources (and the previous ones will very likely be deprecated which will cause problems in Terraform if we use those).
