Add public constant values for Redshift Cluster - ClusterStatus

[gogingersnap777]

Describe the feature

Under service/redshift/types.go, for struct Cluster and member ClusterStatus. Add a constants and a array lookup for all the possible values, instead of just writing them in documentation.

Use Case

When writing a go program to check the status of Redshift clusters, I don't like that I need to hardcode the values that come back from the go sdk. I'd rather reference constants provided by the sdk.

Proposed Solution

I believe the solution should involve making these values constants. There may be more refactor, but I haven't looked too far. I wanted to get this issue up first.

Below is a proposal of changes to service/redshift/types/types.go

Note: The proposal only uses two possible values (available, and cancelling-resize), but their are others

// Enum values for ReservedNodeOfferingType
const (
	ClusterClusterStatusTypeAvailable    ClusterClusterStatusType = "available"
	ClusterClusterStatusTypeCancellingResize ClusterClusterStatusType = "cancelling-resize"
)

// Values returns all known values for ClusterClusterStatusType. Note that this
// can be expanded in the future, and so it is only as up to date as the client.
//
// The ordering of this slice is not guaranteed to be stable across updates.
func (ClusterClusterStatusType) Values() []ClusterClusterStatusType {
	return []ClusterClusterStatusType{
		"available",
		"cancelling-resize",
	}
}

Hi @gogingersnap777 ,

Thanks for reaching out.
Unfortunately the SDK team cannot change the data type for any of the APIs. All of the AWS SDKs are code-generated from the model of each AWS service. In this case, the Redshift API is modeled with ClusterStatus as a string rather than an enum, and while I agree that it makes sense to model this as an enum (similar to other status fields that are modeled as enum), a change to a more restrictive type would be considered a backwards incompatible / breaking change from an API perspective so we are unable to upstream your request.

Thanks again,
Ran~
