Errors reading state files generated by terraform aws provider 5.*

[ckdake]

Description
When running driftctl against a state file stored by the most recent version of the terraform aws provider (now on 5.* as of recently), driftctl complains of errors reading from the state file and fails to complete.

Environment

• OS: Wolfi (container)
• driftctl version: v0.39.0
• terraform version: 1.4.6
• terraform providers versions: [email protected]

How to reproduce
Create a few resources using terraform. Any one of these will fail:

• aws_route_table -> this will yield a "route": element 0: attribute "instance_id" is required error
• aws_default_vpc -> this will yield a attributes "enable_classiclink" and "enable_classiclink_dns_support" are required error

Possible Solution
Update to the most recent version of the terraform state file parsing library from hashicorp.

We gave up on using driftctl, and use a combination of AWS Security Hub controls, custom lambdas, and some other custom bits. prowler-cloud/prowler#2678 would be nice.
