provider/aws: Add aws_caller_identity data source This data source provides access during configuration to the ID of the AWS account for the connection to AWS. It is primarily useful for interpolating into policy documents, for example when creating the policy for an ELB or ALB access log bucket. This will need revisiting and further testing once the work for AssumeRole is integrated.

# aws\_caller\_identity
Use this data source to get the access to the effective Account ID in
which Terraform is working.
~> **NOTE on `aws_caller_identity`:** - an Account ID is only available
if `skip_requesting_account_id` is not set on the AWS provider. In such
cases, the data source will return an error.
## Example Usage
```
website/docs: Run `terraform fmt` on code examples (#12075) * docs/vsphere: Fix code block * docs: Convert `...` to `# ...` to allow `terraform fmt`ing * docs: Trim trailing whitespace * docs: First-pass run of `terraform fmt` on code examples
