Description
### Describe the feature
RDS allows to enable cross-region automated backups quite easily ([see docs](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER_ReplicateBackups.html#AutomatedBackups.Replicating.Enable)) by choosing:
- the destination region
- the replicated backup retention period
- the KMS key
### Use Case
It is currently not possible to do the same with only the CDK RDS module.
I assume it would be possible to mimic this behavior with a Lambda, but this requires high amounts of work, and does not seem to be documented anywhere.
### Proposed Solution
_No response_
### Other Information
_No response_
### Acknowledgements
- [ ] I may be able to implement this feature request
- [ ] This feature might incur a breaking change
### CDK version used
2.32.1
### Environment details (OS name and version, etc.)

Research direction
Start by reading the AWS RDS cross-region automated backups documentation linked in the issue and then locate the CDK RDS module responsible for backup configuration. Done means the module can configure a destination region, replicated backup retention period, and KMS key without requiring a separate Lambda.
