Description
### Name of the resource
AWS::KMS::Key
### Resource name
_No response_
### Description
A KMS::Key is an obvious resource to set as:
```json
"UpdateReplacePolicy" : "Retain",
"DeletionPolicy" : "RetainExceptOnCreate"
```
so that on destruction of the stack you can still e.g. retrieve encrypted DB backups.
However, because its `primariyIdentifier` is `KeyId` and `KeyId` is a read only property it cannot be imported using `--import-existing-resources`. So if you created the key via CloudFormation (or the CDK) and want to recreate the stack using the same key it does not work trivially.

Research direction
The issue names AWS::KMS::Key and --import-existing-resources but no repository files, tests, or entry points. First locate the implementation of this import behavior and its existing tests; done means a retained existing KMS key can be used when recreating a stack through the flag, with regression coverage.
