Pandas dependency is only used for a few features in Amazon providers amd it is a huge "drag" on a package in general - we use the existing Airflow 2.3+ feature of Optional Provider Feature to make pandas an optional dependency (with "[pandas]" extra). This is not a breaking change, since those who already installed previous provider version have pandas installed already. Only people who install provider manually will have to install "pandas" extra either for Airflow core package or for the provider. Fixes: #28468 <!-- Thank you for contributing!
