AWS Now Supports Max Retry Attempts

Add support for the new lambda config option MaximumRetryAttempts.

Retry attempts – The number of times Lambda retries when the function returns an error, between 0 and 2.

Although the async config can be added as a custom resource, I would argue that limiting the retry attempts is a super common want. Common enough to be included in the main function definition (like timeout, reservedConcurrency etc).

What users want/need obviously isn’t considered a relevant factor in this project. Or just plain common sense.
