VPC access to Elastic Search

[iceycake]

ElasticSearch can be finally able to be accessed from VPC (https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2017/10/amazon-elasticsearch-service-announces-support-for-amazon-virtual-private-cloud-vpc/). The required aws-sdk-go is also available (aws/aws-sdk-go@044a61f)

Probably not too difficult to implement that in terraform.

Since I forget if GitHub sends email when a PR references an issue: Please see #1958 if you are interested.

Thanks for the ping @handlerbot :)

@Ninir Anything that helps bring that large issues number down. ;-) BTW, is there guidelines / a schedule board yet for when a new AWS provider release will be cut? From the outside, the timing process looks pretty opaque, and it's hard to tell if I should do my work with a custom-compiled provider, or wait for an imminent official release, etc.

[Ninir]

We try to release the provider twice a month, which is our will. It mainly depends on the work in the pipe: sometimes we do want to include specific work, and wait until it's ready. When the given work takes too much time, it is delayed to the next milestone.

Please note it's hard to engage on a specific timeline for that, but we do our best to stick to that.

We still need to do a better work here on our side, but things are getting into shape for these bi-releases a month :)

@Ninir Excellent info, thanks! I'd be even more interested in signing up for Enterprise if we could get insight into blockers/soft targets for the next milestone, so plz feed that back upstream if that helps. ;-)

Would you say we're on track for an AWS provider release around the start of November?
