[Enhancement]: aws_cognito_user_pool.password_policy.Allow_reuse_of_previous_passwords

[SuperP4rks]

Description

Request for Allow_reuse_of_previous_passwords to be added to the password_policy in aws_cognito_user_pool resource.

This is a new feature released in Cognito and would make sense to enhance the password_policy as thats where it sits within the UI experience, however there is a requirement for the advanced security to be active.

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

aws_cognito_user_pool

Potential Terraform Configuration

resource "aws_cognito_user_pool" "this" {
  password_policy {
    minimum_length                   = "10"
    require_lowercase                = "true"
    require_numbers                  = "true"
    require_symbols                  = "true"
    require_uppercase                = "true"
    temporary_password_validity_days = "10"
    Allow_reuse_of_previous_passwords = "true"
  }
}

I want to second this issue, with a slight addendum:

resource "aws_cognito_user_pool" "this" {
  password_policy {
    minimum_length                   = "10"
    require_lowercase                = "true"
    require_numbers                  = "true"
    require_symbols                  = "true"
    require_uppercase                = "true"
    temporary_password_validity_days = "10"

    password_history_size = 2 /* Instead of aforementioned Allow_reuse_of_previous_passwords */
  
  }
}

At the moment this can be achieved by using exec local and manually invoking the the aws cli aws cognito-idp update-user-pool however if miss configure the cli call it will overwrite what was configured as part of the original aws_cognito_user_pool declaration which is not optimal.
