[MAINT]: Start migration towards TF Plugin Framework

Describe the need

I won't go into detail as to why a move towards the TF Plugin Framework is a good idea, the official docs explain it better than I can 😅.

The good thing is migrating to the framework doesn't have to happen in one go, or even quickly at all. Using the terraform-plugin-mux is a good way to do one resource at a time and make sure things are migrated smoothly and without major bugs.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this, and if it's a go, I can get started within the next week or two with setting up the muxing and start migrating resources, probably smaller ones to start with.

Hey @o-sama we've been chatting about this internally quite a bit! ❤️ Thank you for putting some "teeth" into it here a bit. @kfcampbell is out for the next few weeks but we'll get the teams involved together and come up with a strategy here! We'd love to get your input as well so we'll reach out once we get started working through where we want to go with this!

I'd favor making this a discussion so that we can expand it to a wider audience as well as sort out what we'd like to do and then create an issue as a follow up. Thoughts?

@o-sama if you'd like to start a PR that migrates one resource over or perhaps you'd like to continue #1780, that would be very much appreciated!

Sounds good to me, I'll take a look at the PR and also look into migrating a resource to the framework, if it isn't a lot of extra work to move towards the framework it's probably better since that'll be more future-proof.
