[Enhancement]: minimum_load_balancer_capacity support for aws_lb resource

[arrudm]

Description

AWS recently launched LCU Reservation support for Application Load Balancers (ALB) and Network Load Balancers (NLB). This feature enables proactive capacity management by allowing customers to set minimum capacity thresholds, ensuring consistent performance during traffic spikes.

The AWSCC provider now supports this in v1.23.0+ via the awscc_elasticloadbalancingv2_load_balancer resource. We should explore supporting the same for the AWS provider aws_lb resource.

Affected Resource(s) and/or Data Source(s)

• aws_lb

Potential Terraform Configuration

Refer to AWSCC equivalent https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/awscc/latest/docs/resources/elasticloadbalancingv2_load_balancer#nestedatt--minimum_load_balancer_capacity
