Description
### Name of the resource
AWS::ApplicationAutoScaling::ScalingPolicy
### Description
When creating an `AWS::AutoScaling::ScalingPolicy`, I'd like to be able to change the evaluation period and number of datapoints to trigger the alarm.
For example, when creating a `AWS::ApplicationAutoScaling::ScalingPolicy` for ELB TargetResponseTime, it defaults to a period of 15 minutes and 9 datapoints to scale-in. It would be beneficial to change this to a period of 5 minutes and 5 datapoints.
### Other Details
Prerequisite for https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/issues/34472. Related to https://github.com/aws-cloudformation/cloudformation-coverage-roadmap/issues/1791.

Research direction
No implementation files or tests are named. Start by reviewing the AWS::ApplicationAutoScaling::ScalingPolicy resource and the related CloudFormation coverage issue 1791, then check the prerequisite CDK issue 34472. Done means the resource can specify the CloudWatch alarm evaluation period and datapoints used for scaling.
