Lakeformation permission for external account access fails validation

[vadivelselvaraj]

When sharing glue catalog database or tables with external AWS accounts, the principal argument for the AWS LakeFormation Permissions API should accept a valid AWS account ID. Currently, only a valid AWS role or user ARN is accepted and a code like the below would fail because of this validation.

resource "aws_lakeformation_permissions" "high_fidelity_db_external_access" {
  principal = "259712912613"
  permissions = ["SELECT"]
  permissions_with_grant_option = ["SELECT"]

  database {
    name = aws_glue_catalog_database.sample_db.name
  }
}

ValidationError: Error: "principal" doesn't look like a user or role: "259712912613"

The validation for the principal argument is done here and needs to be changed to allow AWS account ID as valid input.

Additionally, the principal argument can also be an organization as can be seen here.
