fix(dynamodb): replicas not created on table replacement (#13300)

Process `Update` events resulting from table replacements. Include the table name in the physical resource id to receive a `Delete` event when the table is replaced. This allows to clean "old" replicas. Use a managed policy instead of an inline policy for the custom resource. An update of the description property of a managed policy requires a replacement. If we use the table name in the description it forces a managed policy replacement when the table name changes. This way we preserve permissions to delete old replicas in case of a table replacement: a new managed policy with permissions for the new table is created during the update phase and the old managed policy with permissions for the old table is removed only during the update clean up phase. The logical ID of the `SourceTableAttachedPolicy` needs to be updated because CF doesn't allow to change a resource type.
