Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
Cognito UI shows this warning. Further investigation shows that Cognito has 50 email / day delivery limit.

**Describe the solution you'd like**
It seems like Amplify CLI should default set Cognito to deliver email through SES, or at least give us this option?

**Describe alternatives you've considered**
It seems I have to modify the cloudformation manually to get this currently.

Research direction

Start by tracing how the Amplify CLI generates Cognito resources and their CloudFormation configuration. Check the existing Cognito settings and AWS SES requirements, then determine how an SES delivery option or default would fit. Done means the CLI can configure Cognito email delivery through SES without manual CloudFormation edits, with the relevant behavior covered by tests.
