Description
### Describe the bug
When creating a ECSTarget on a rule, I want the ECS Task to be set to the `latest` revision, not the specific number of the revision. By researching on the [ECS Target documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_events_targets.EcsTask.html) I couldn't find a way to set this value, nor a property or parameter.
### Expected Behavior
When creating a ECSTarget on a rule, I would like to have a way to tell the ECSTask to use the `latest` revision, not the specific revision number.
### Current Behavior
When creating a ECSTarget on a rule, the ECSTask always takes the specific revision number of the deployment.
### Reproduction Steps
new targets.EcsTask({
cluster,
taskDefinition,
containerOverrides: [
{
containerName: container.containerName,
environment: [
{
name: "MEETING",
value: EventField.fromPath("$.detail.meetingId"),
},
],
},
],
})
);
### Possible Solution
Having a property, flag or some value to represent the `latest` tag on the ECSTask.

Research direction
Start with the aws_events_targets.EcsTask API and the linked ECS Target documentation, then reproduce the behavior using the TypeScript example in the issue. Determine how the target currently selects a task-definition revision and what supported representation of the latest revision is possible; done means the feature is documented and tested for the requested latest-revision behavior.
