This is a proof of concept for what we'd need to do to backport the v2 update for cloudwatch to grafana 11.4.X. It's kind of terrible but it works. It pairs with the corresponding PR in grafana/grafana: grafana/grafana#107788
The issue with backporting this is that the v2 update depends on newer code in grafana-aws-sdk and grafana-plugin-sdk-go, but 11.4 is not compatible with these newer versions. This PR chops both libraries up and hacks them together, exposing under a different package only what cloudwatch v2 needs, to avoid import conflicts with our libraries and minimize the number of downstream dependency updates.
