### Resource name

_No response_

### Description

Support for automatic backup retention on delete for Aurora MySQL and Postgres launched on 08/04/23. Cloudformation does not yet support this feature.
https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2023/08/amazon-aurora-automatic-backup-deleted-clusters/

The AWS::RDS::DBCluster resource needs to have a property added to configure automatic backup retention on delete.

For comparison the AWS::RDS::DBInstance resource type supports a DeleteAutomatedBackups property to this configuration for RDS instances.

Research direction

Start with the AWS::RDS::DBCluster resource and compare it with the AWS::RDS::DBInstance resource's DeleteAutomatedBackups property. The work is done when Aurora MySQL and PostgreSQL DBCluster resources expose an equivalent property for automatic backup retention on deletion.
