Description
### Description
Please create a method to lookup a Transit Gateway given a filter.
### Use Case
I have a network architecture using a shared services network account. That network account has a Transit Gateway shared via Resource Access Manager.
I'm deploying an app into another account that uses the shared Transit Gateway. I want to create a VPC attachment to the Transit Gateway. I need the Transit Gateway ID to create the attachment.
There is no way to obtain the Transit Gateway ID with the CDK, I would have to use the SDK. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69456504/how-do-i-obtain-the-properties-of-an-existing-transit-gateway-with-the-cdk/69473852#69473852
### Proposed Solution
```
const tgw = new CfnTransitGatway.lookup(this, 'TGW', {
tags: [{
name: "foo",
value: "bar"
}],
});
const tgwId = tgw.attrId;
```

Contributor guide
Research direction
No files or tests are named in the issue. Start by locating the aws-ec2 CDK construct corresponding to a Transit Gateway and reviewing the proposed lookup shape and linked AWS SDK guidance. Done means a filter can identify a shared Transit Gateway and expose its ID for creating a VPC attachment, with appropriate test coverage.
