Description

Add support to set the Instant Restore Snapshot retention value. By default, the provider would create both the daily and weekly policy with a retention of 2 days. However, for Weekly Backup policies, the Instant RP retention policy range needs to be set to 5 days otherwise the policy will not work as desired.
