Description

### Describe the feature

Through the [DataLakeSettings](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-lakeformation-datalakesettings.html) I can provision the admins for the lake formation however there doesn't seem to exist a functionality to provision Database Creators. As far as I can tell it can only be done through AWS Console (API)

Would be good if it can be done in IaaC way.

### Use Case

I am trying to make my glue IAM role a Database creator in the LakeFormation however I am unable to do so in Cloudformation.

### Proposed Solution

_No response_

Research direction

No source file or test is named. Start with the DataLakeSettings CloudFormation documentation linked in the issue, then inspect the CDK support for that resource and determine how Database Creators are represented. Done means a CDK-defined Glue IAM role can be provisioned as a Lake Formation Database Creator through CloudFormation.
