Description

### Describe the feature

The looked up vpc only returns the primary cidrBlock. Would like to have information of all CIDRs returned as well (with [Vpc.cidrBlockAssociationSet](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/APIReference/API_Vpc.html))

### Use Case

Use case is to get list of CIDR blocks attached to the VPC when using CDK

### Proposed Solution

Couple important spots to adjust to support this feature. May be incomplete

[LookedUpVpc construct](https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/blob/9487b39d6da4ab7efd884c3a8379b03e317786b9/packages/%40aws-cdk/aws-ec2/lib/vpc.ts#L1970)

[VpcContextResponse](https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/blob/ca3920dbd588ebd9c68f17bfbf420713cf42790a/packages/%40aws-cdk/cx-api/lib/context/vpc.ts#L67)

[return value from context provider](https://github.com/jumic/aws-cdk/blob/ea7802b4b5ea4781ed884fc8d330173b192d569d/packages/aws-cdk/lib/context-providers/vpcs.ts#L136)

### Other Information

Requested from internal ticket P62779596

### Acknowledgements

Research direction

Trace the looked-up VPC flow through packages/@aws-cdk/aws-ec2/lib/vpc.ts, packages/@aws-cdk/cx-api/lib/context/vpc.ts, and packages/aws-cdk/lib/context-providers/vpcs.ts. Start with the linked locations and verify how cidrBlockAssociationSet is represented and passed through context. Done means a looked-up VPC exposes all attached CIDR blocks while preserving the existing primary cidrBlock behavior.
