Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

SES has a v2 API available that has some new features. In particular, SES has some subscription management features that are only available in the v2 API. Here is the AWS page on subscription management. With the new stricter requirements for senders being imposed by Google and Yahoo, it's going to be pretty important for SES users to access these subscription management features.

Is your feature request related to a specific adapter? Please specify.

This is related to the Amazon SES adapter

Describe the solution you'd like

Either reimplement the SES adapter using the new API or provide a new adapter that is using the new API and provides access to the new list management options.

Describe alternatives you've considered

There isn't really an alternative that's not moving away from using swoosh, or building a new adapter myself.

Additional context

New bulk sender requirements from Google / Yahoo.

Research direction
The SES adapter in swoosh currently uses the older SES API. To support v2, you'll need to examine AWS SES v2 API documentation, especially the new subscription management features. Look at the existing SES adapter code (likely in lib/swoosh/adapters/ses.ex) and understand how it constructs API requests. Then, modify the adapter to optionally use the v2 endpoint or create a separate adapter. Check comments in the issue for maintainer guidance.
