This PR updates the AWS Provider to be built using Go 1.16, which adds support for Apple Silicon - as has been done in AzureAD and AzureRM so that we can launch support across different providers simultaneously.

Please note that typically Go dependency changes are handled in this repository by dependabot or the maintainers. This is to prevent pull request merge conflicts and further delay reviews of contributions. Remove any changes to the go.mod or go.sum files and commit them into this pull request.

Additional details:

• Check open pull requests with the dependencies label to view other dependency updates.
• If this pull request includes an update the AWS Go SDK (or any other dependency) version, only updates submitted via dependabot will be merged. This pull request will need to remove these changes and will need to be rebased after the existing dependency update via dependabot has been merged for this pull request to be reviewed.
• If this pull request is for supporting a new AWS service:
  • Ensure the new AWS service changes are following the Contributing Guide section on new services, in particular that the dependency addition and initial provider support are in a separate pull request from other changes (e.g. new resources). Contributions not following this item will not be reviewed until the changes are split.
  • If this pull request is already a separate pull request from the above item, you can ignore this message.

@bflad looks like this also needs the environment variables updated for GHA, I'm assuming they're against the repo?

We will likely wait to merge this until after this week's release so it can get a full acceptance test run in (and allow more time for Homebrew support of Go 1.16).

Homebrew support is merged in and verified this locally using that. Thank you, @tombuildsstuff 🚀
