ECR: support force upon deletion

[thesurlydev]

When deleting an ECR repository using the SDK or CLI there's a force option which will delete the repository regardless if there images in the repository. Please support this option, otherwise users are forced to use a custom resource as a workaround.

For reference, see:

2. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECR/latest/APIReference/API_DeleteRepository.html

This feature is not supported by CloudFormation currently. This means that, if CDK does anything about it, it'll have to involve... a CustomResource.

How can we raise this request the CloudFormation team to support force deletion of ECR repositories ?

[heiba]

I created a new issue in the CloudFormation Coverage Roadmap repository
aws-cloudformation/cloudformation-coverage-roadmap#515

Please let me know if I should take another action to escalate this issue to the CloudFormation team

It looks like the CFN team is looking at the issue @heiba created as of 11 days ago. Hopefully we'll be able to support this feature soon without the need for a custom resource

It looks like something similiar is already done with S3, with a custom resource here.

@MrArnoldPalmer @RomainMuller While I'm chasing the CloudFormation team to hopefully update us on this issue. Any chance the CDK team can implement it using a custom resource ?

[heiba]

@kirintwn referencing your new branch that includes deleting of ecr repos via a custom resource.

#12618

Closing in favor of #12618. More or less a duplicate of that one.
