This resource allows an existing Route Table to be assigned as the
"main" Route Table of a VPC. This means that the Route Table will be
used for any subnets within the VPC without an explicit Route Table
assigned [1].
This is particularly useful in getting an Internet Gateway in place as
the default for a VPC, since the automatically created Main Route Table
does not have one [2].
Note that this resource is an abstraction over an association and does not
map directly to a CRUD-able object in AWS. In order to retain a coherent
"Delete" operation for this resource, we remember the ID of the AWS-created
Route Table and reset the VPC's main Route Table to it when this
resource is deleted.

For now this only supports importing a key pair (by specifying a
public_key) property. In the future it'd be fairly trivial to support
key pair creation, with the private key returned as a computed property.
In real world usage you'd probably want to provide that public_key
property via a variable rather than hard-coding it into a terraform
config that'd end up in source control.
