This change allows plugin authors to load other plugins by defining @UsesDataPrepperPlugin on a field with a different type. It will automatically load the plugin using the PluginFactory and give the main plugin the desired plugin instance that they are looking for. This updates the sqs source to use this new capability for its InputCodec defined by the codec property. Resolves opensearch-project#4838 Signed-off-by: David Venable <dlv@amazon.com>

Description
This change allows plugin authors to load other plugins by defining
@UsesDataPrepperPluginon a field with a different type. It will automatically load the plugin using thePluginFactoryand give the main plugin the desired plugin instance that they are looking for.For backward compatibility, if the target type is
PluginModelthis will not attempt to load the plugin.The overall approach I took was to add custom deserialization in the Jackson
ObjectMapperto load the plugin.This updates the
sqssource to use this new capability for itsInputCodecdefined by the codec property.Issues Resolved
Resolves #4838
