Description
### Describe the feature
I would like to be able to use the eventbridge datasource type with the aws_appsync_alpha module. At the moment, this seems impossible.
### Use Case
I want to be able to publish events to eventbridge from my appsync api. This is a very common pattern in my application.
### Proposed Solution
Extend the BaseDataSource class to handle the eventbridge datasource type and add a add_eventbridge_data_source function to the GraphqlApi class.
### Other Information
I tried to use the CfnDataSource class from aws_appsync in combo with AppsyncFunction from the aws_appsync_alpha module but that throws me the error:
TypeError: type of argument data_source must be aws_cdk.aws_appsync_alpha.BaseDataSource; got aws_cdk.aws_appsync.CfnDataSource instead
### Acknowledgements
- [ ] I may be able to implement this feature request
- [ ] This feature might incur a breaking change
### CDK version used
2.77.0 (build 06a0b19)
### Environment details (OS name and version, etc.)
MacOs Ventura 13.3.1 (22E261)
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the aws_appsync_alpha BaseDataSource and GraphqlApi entry points named in the proposal, then compare them with the aws_appsync CfnDataSource EventBridge type. Reproduce the data_source type error and verify that an EventBridge data source can be added to a GraphQL API and used by AppsyncFunction.
