Add a mention on how Terraform handles existing EBS attachments

[danielelisi]

I used to edit my tfstate file manually to import aws_volume_attachment. Then I found hashicorp/terraform#11060 which changed Terraform behaviour when an EBS volume is already attached to an instance.

I thought would be a good idea to mention it in the docs.

This helped me even as a pending PR. wink You might want to add that it's referenced as a vai-#########.

Hi @danielelisi 👋 Thank you for submitting this and apologies for the delayed review. It appears that import support is available on more recent versions of the Terraform AWS Provider: https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/aws/r/volume_attachment.html#import

Given that aws_volume_attachment resource import is now possible, I'm going to close this since it no longer applies. Thanks again for the contribution though.
