Description
### Describe the feature
There are two very similar if not to say identical interfaces called ApplyCloudFormationInitOptions one in aws-ec2 another in aws-autoscaling:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_ec2.ApplyCloudFormationInitOptions.html
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_autoscaling.ApplyCloudFormationInitOptions.html
The one in aws-autoscaling doesn't have timeout for some reason and it is very unfortunate.
### Use Case
Use case is using `init` that takes >5 minutes (default timeout), which is not so unusual with Windows instances. I have a mix of EC2 and ASGs in my stack and for EC2s I can specify timeout but not for ASG.
### Proposed Solution
Do the same thing the aws-ec2 code does :-D .
### Other Information
_No response_

Contributor guide
Research direction
Compare the two ApplyCloudFormationInitOptions interfaces linked in the issue, starting with the aws-ec2 implementation and then tracing the aws-autoscaling entry point. Confirm how the timeout is propagated and identify the existing tests for both paths; done means autoscaling accepts and honors the same timeout option as EC2.
