@aws-sdk/client-dynamodb should be a full dependency of @aws-sdk/util-dynamodb

Describe the bug

@aws-sdk/util-dynamodb lists @aws-sdk/client-dynamodb as a devDependency, but imports it in public type definition files, so it should be a full dependency.

This is similar to #4481 and #4482. Please consider fixing them holistically, so that this class of issue does not recur in other context.

in #5223 I'm moving it to peer first. We can move to a dependency later when doing the same for lib-dynamodb.
