Description

Add support for AWS CDK Assets in the AWS Adapter.

Could make use of implementing a custom synthesizer that is passed to the AWS CDK Stack.

This issue is about a first iteration and does not need full support for any Asset to be closed, create follow-up issues as needed.

One of the best aspects of the CDK is the high level Lambda abstractions, especially NodejsFunction. I'd been hoping for something like it in CDKTF directly, but supporting the CDK's existing construct would also be a big win.

Wanted to call out how Pulumi tackled this: https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-cdk/blob/main/src/stack.ts

Basically mapped the underlying Pulumi's own notion of assets, with the caveat that it still leans on the CDK's Bootstrap Stack to provide a staging ground for S3 Assets and ECR images. Possibly an approach that could partially unblock this?
