### Description

Unable to create SALESFORCE Connection Type

CFN resource documentation - https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-glue-connection.html

ConnectionInput for the CFN resource doesn't support additional parameters required to create a Salesforce type Glue connection.

Research direction

Start with the AWS::Glue::Connection resource and its ConnectionInput schema, then compare the CloudFormation resource documentation with the Glue CreateConnection API documentation linked in the issue. Reproduce the Salesforce connection validation errors with and without AuthenticationConfiguration and ValidateCredentials; done means CloudFormation accepts the required properties and creates the connection successfully.
