Support UDT in Keyspaces controller

[vishalkatikineni]

Is your feature request related to a problem?
Creating UDTs (User-Defined Types) is currently a manual process after provisioning a keyspace using the keyspaces-controller. Since UDTs are referenced in table specifications, the lack of native support in the keyspaces-controller is a limitation.

Describe the solution you'd like
Enhance the keyspaces-controller to support a new Type resource that enables:

• CreateType
• DeleteType

Describe alternatives you've considered
Manual creation of UDTs post keyspace provisioning or scripting UDT operations outside the keyspaces-controller. However, these approaches reduce automation and increase operational overhead.

This should be pretty simple to implement, by ignoring this: https://github.com/aws-controllers-k8s/keyspaces-controller/blob/641da85fc4c2a947f187c68779e09e14eb97a9d6/generator.yaml#L6
and generating it with code-gen.
If anyone wants to take a stab at this, i'd be happy to guide you!

Thank you for the contribution @vishalkatikineni
The more i look at it, do you think Type should be a resource on its own?
I see there's no way of updating it, unless of course you can tag it..
Do you think it should be a field of KeySpace instead?

[vishalkatikineni]

@michaelhtm I don't see an UpdateType action or tagging support for UDTs. Do you suggest custom_field implementation?

[michaelhtm]

Yes, most like list_of. This generator.yaml feature is not really documented.
Would you think this is a better use case?

One thing to take into consideration is kubernetes objece size limit which is set to 1.5Mb https://etcd.io/docs/v3.5/dev-guide/limit/

My initial thoughts is that it makes sense to make it part of the table CRD.
