In most cases private keys are used to produce certs and cert requests, but there are some less-common cases where the PEM-formatted keypair is used alone. The public_key_pem attribute supports such cases. This also includes a public_key_openssh attribute, which allows this resource to be used to generate temporary OpenSSH credentials, so that e.g. a Terraform configuration could generate its own keypair to use with the aws_key_pair resource. This has the same caveats as all cases where we generate private keys in Terraform, but could be useful for temporary/throwaway environments where the state either doesn't live for long or is stored securely. This builds on work started by Simarpreet Singh in #4441 .
