New submodule using aws_eks_pod_identity_association

[Jeinhaus]

Is your request related to a new offering from AWS?

Is this functionality available in the AWS provider for Terraform?

• Yes ✅: v5.29.0 introduced aws_eks_pod_identity_association.

Describe the solution you'd like.

It would be nice to have a submodule for a role to use the new EKS Pod Identities analogous to the iam-assumable-role-with-oidc.
Using EKS pod identities, we no longer have to annotate the service account of the pod with the role's ARN.

Describe alternatives you've considered.

We could maybe extend the existing iam-assumable-role-with-oidc to optionally use pod identities, but I don't think that that is a good solution.

Additional context

I'd be willing to give it a try to implement this, if this is something you would consider integrating.
