Description

### Name of the resource

AWS::RDS::DBInstance

### Description

Currently `AWS::RDS::DBInstance` only supports `Ref` to get the `DB instance name`. Implementing this would be great.

Research direction

Start by reading the AWS::RDS::DBInstance documentation linked in the issue and the related coverage-roadmap issue #68. Trace how the existing Ref behavior for the DB instance name is represented in this project, then implement the corresponding GetAtt support and verify that the resource exposes the name through both paths.
