[New Data Source]: aws_rds_cluster_parameter_group and aws_db_parameter_group

[nwsparks]

Description

A data source for parameter groups would be helpful. One specific use case is related to this problem #22857 which cannot be solved via Terraform.

With a data source I could compare parameters that are being set to what the defaults are and avoid trying to set them if the value already matches avoiding the persistent diff occurring as a result of the issue linked above.

Requested Resource(s) and/or Data Source(s)

• aws_rds_cluster_parameter_group
• aws_db_parameter_group

As of today aws_db_parameter_group exists as a data source, and I've had a go at implementing aws_rds_cluster_parameter_group and would like to contribute it back.

@johnsonaj @benjamin-wright the newly added data sources are not doing what was described in this issue and are not helpful. I'm not sure if there is even a point to their existence. they need to return the parameters and values to be useful.
