Description

Static method on `Vpc` akin to `.fromLookup` with signature `.fromCfnVpc(cfnvpc: CfnVpc): IVpc` that performs a hopefully simple transform on a `CfnVpc` to return a `IVpc`.

### Use Case

More convenient and supported method for mixing `CfnInclude`'d CloudFormation templates with CDK constructs.

### Proposed Solution

Implement the described static method.

### Other

* [x] :wave: I may be able to implement this feature request

Research direction

Start with the existing Vpc.fromLookup entry point and the CfnVpc and IVpc definitions in the aws-ec2 module. Trace how CfnInclude exposes a CfnVpc, then assess the requested Vpc.fromCfnVpc(cfnvpc: CfnVpc): IVpc transformation. Done means an included CfnVpc can be used as an IVpc when mixing CloudFormation templates with CDK constructs.
