Describe the feature

ConfigurationSet have a option to override suppression list settings.
AWS console allows us to disable suppression list:

But ConfigurationSet L2 construct only allows to specify one or more supression reasons.
CloudFormation supports to disable suppression list by specifying SuppressionOptions.SuppressionReasons resource property to [] (empty array).

Use Case

Disabling suppression list allows us to send an e-mail to already suppressed (in account-level suppression list) destinations.
This behavior is useful to send verification code to verify whether an e-mail address is reachable.

Proposed Solution

Introduce disableSuppressionList property.

Usage:

// disable suppression list
new ses.ConfigurationSet(this, 'ConfigurationSet', {
  disableSuppressionList: true,
});

// default - account-level suppression settings will be used
new ses.ConfigurationSet(this, 'ConfigurationSet', {
  disableSuppressionList: false,
});

// error - suppressionReasons must be absent
new ses.ConfigurationSet(this, 'ConfigurationSet', {
  disableSuppressionList: true,
  suppressionReasons: ses.SuppressionReasons.BOUNCE,
});

// redundant but allowed - override suppression reasons
new ses.ConfigurationSet(this, 'ConfigurationSet', {
  disableSuppressionList: false,
  suppressionReasons: ses.SuppressionReasons.BOUNCE,
});
