Description
### Name of the resource
AWS::RDS::DBInstance
### Resource name
_No response_
### Description
The recently added `AutomaticBackupReplicationRegion` property for `AWS::RDS::DBInstance` are missing a few parameters that are useful or required for proper function of the feature:
- "Replicated backup retention period" - In the UI it's a different field from the normal backup retention field, so it should be exposed.
- "AWS KMS key" - Is needed when you are using encrypted databases; Not specifying it results in following error:
> Encrypted instances require a valid KMS key ID
where in this case, the database is encrypted using default `aws/rds` KMS key
### Other Details
