**Description:**
The current implementation of `DynamoDBChatMessageHistory` updates the
`History` attribute for a given chat history record by first extracting
the existing contents into memory, appending the new message, and then
using the `put_item` method to put the record back. This has the effect
of overwriting any additional attributes someone may want to include in
the record, like chat session metadata.
This PR suggests changing from using `put_item` to using `update_item`
instead which will keep any other attributes in the record untouched.
The change is backward compatible since
1. `update_item` is an "upsert" operation, creating the record if it
doesn't already exist, otherwise updating it
2. It only touches the db insert call and passes the exact same
information. The rest of the class is left untouched
**Dependencies:**
None
**Tests and docs:**
No unit tests currently exist for the `DynamoDBChatMessageHistory`
class. This PR adds the file
`libs/community/tests/unit_tests/chat_message_histories/test_dynamodb_chat_message_history.py`
to test the `add_message` and `clear` methods. I wanted to use the moto
library to mock DynamoDB calls but I could not get poetry to resolve it
so I mocked those calls myself in the test. Therefore, no test
dependencies were added.
The change was tested on a test DynamoDB table as well. The first three
images below show the current behavior. First a message is added to chat
history, then a value is inserted in the record in some other attribute,
and finally another message is added to the record, destroying the other
attribute.



The next three images show the new behavior. Once again a value is added
to an attribute other than the History attribute, but now when the
followup message is added it does not destroy that other attribute. The
History attribute itself is unaffected by this change.



The doc located at `docs/docs/integrations/memory/aws_dynamodb.ipynb`
required no changes and was tested as well.

preserved in a session history for DynamoDBChatMessageHistory

Relates to #17048
Description : Applied fix to dynamodb and elasticsearch file.
Error was : `Cannot override writeable attribute with read-only
property`
Suggestion:
instead of adding
```
@messages.setter
def messages(self, messages: List[BaseMessage]) -> None:
raise NotImplementedError("Use add_messages instead")
```
we can change base class property
`messages: List[BaseMessage]`
to
```
@property
def messages(self) -> List[BaseMessage]:...
```
then we don't need to add `@messages.setter` in all child classes.
