COMPONENT: Support for S3-based State Locking

[swain]

Description

The Terraform HCL docs claim that DynamoDB-based locking is now deprecated, and instead encourage using S3-based state locking: https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/language/backend/s3#state-locking.

But, enabling S3 state locking doesn't seem to be supported in the CDK. Are there plans to support this?

There is already an issue for this that I believe was closed by mistake: https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-cdk/issues/3834

In the meantime you can use this workaround: https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-cdk/issues/3834#issuecomment-2715730340

#3834 was indeed closed too early, and has now been locked, so this is the only issue left tracking this.
