What would you like to be added

Add support for a DynamoDB storage backend. Although MySQL is available, it would require to run a RDS Instance for it. Extra costs, backup considerations, etc. Even with Aurora Serverless.

DynamoDB is just there, scales as needed with OnDemand pricing and has fine backup capabilities.

Why this is needed

We plan to run step-ca in AWS ECS on Fargate and with KMS, so we prefer to use DynamoDB as storage backend too.

Hi @EmiiKhaos it would be nice to have DynamoDB as a backend. Our current plans for the storage backend is to add support for "structured" SQL (with tables, columns, ...) for MySQL and PostgreSQL. I'm gonna add this to our backlog. But we will gladly welcome a contribution from the community for something like this.

The implementation that I see more obvious would be to write the DB interface available at https://github.com/smallstep/nosql/blob/master/database/database.go#L90-L113

Would you be able to take the challenge?
