(aws-autoscaling): initOptions don't have a timeout field (unlike the one in aws-ec2)

[asyschikov]

Describe the feature

There are two very similar if not to say identical interfaces called ApplyCloudFormationInitOptions one in aws-ec2 another in aws-autoscaling:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_ec2.ApplyCloudFormationInitOptions.html
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_autoscaling.ApplyCloudFormationInitOptions.html

The one in aws-autoscaling doesn't have timeout for some reason and it is very unfortunate.

Use Case

Use case is using init that takes >5 minutes (default timeout), which is not so unusual with Windows instances. I have a mix of EC2 and ASGs in my stack and for EC2s I can specify timeout but not for ASG.

Proposed Solution

Do the same thing the aws-ec2 code does :-D .
