adding data_as_bytes to KinesisStreamRecordPayload

[hjurong]

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

currently the KinesisStreamRecordPayload has data_as_text and data_as_json helpers which are useful for deserialising text/json payload; however, we can have gzipped payload (e.g., from cloudwatch logs) which we don't want to convert to str but still want to leverage the dataclass to do the base64 decode

Describe the solution you'd like

a data_as_bytes method in KinesisStreamRecordPayload

Describe alternatives you've considered

Another custom wrapper class, or just getting the record.kinesis.data attribute then do the base64 decode; but both are not as clean as having a helper on KinesisStreamRecordPayload

Additional context

Hey @hjurong thanks a lot for creating an issue!

Would you like to contribute this as a Pull Request? If so, we can guide you and make sure this is part of the next release we're working towards (1.20.0).

It'll require roughly 2 lines here: https://github.com/awslabs/aws-lambda-powertools-python/blob/474507000b648ff4439a68ed20ad463fcb669a27/aws_lambda_powertools/utilities/data_classes/kinesis_stream_event.py#L8

And an additional test like this to make sure it works as expected: https://github.com/awslabs/aws-lambda-powertools-python/blob/474507000b648ff4439a68ed20ad463fcb669a27/tests/functional/test_data_classes.py#L1083

Taking the triage off so we can take this later if you're out of bandwidth.

Thank you!!
