Description

### Describe the bug

In our project, we use AwsCustomResource to run many API calls against Lake Formation (`grantPermissions`, `revokePermissions`.)

However, in many cases, it happens that the deployment fails after a `Rate exceeded` error.

### Expected Behavior

It would be nice to have the option to enable an exponential backoff retry

### Current Behavior

The deployment fails with no other options.

### Reproduction Steps

Steps
```ts
new AwsCustomResource(this.scope, id, {
role: this.customResourceRole,
onCreate: {
service: 'LakeFormation',
action: 'grantPermissions',
parameters: {
Principal: { ... },
Resource: {
LFTagPolicy: { ... },
Permissions: permissions,
},
physicalResourceId: PhysicalResourceId.of(id),
},
```

Research direction

Start at the AwsCustomResource entry point and trace how the configured LakeFormation grantPermissions and revokePermissions calls are invoked. Reproduce the Rate exceeded failure with the example configuration, then determine the retry option and exponential-backoff behavior needed so deployment can recover instead of failing immediately.
