Description

### Describe the feature

The current version of [`DatabaseClusterEngine`](https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/blob/f03f7b7ea3a5ab1b5f0f8e20f88608107f25a352/packages/aws-cdk-lib/aws-rds/lib/cluster-engine.ts#L827) only supports Aurora, Aurora Mysql, and Aurora PostgreSQL. `AWS::RDS::DBCluster` which is the base of [`DatabaseCluster` ](https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/blob/f03f7b7ea3a5ab1b5f0f8e20f88608107f25a352/packages/aws-cdk-lib/aws-rds/lib/cluster.ts#L648) supports the engine being MySql or PostgreSQL (the non-Aurora versions) but there currently is no way to configure those engines with `DatabaseCluster`. A `MySqlClusterEngineBase` class already exists which could be extended to create a `MySqlClusterEngine` and implement a `PostgresClusterEngine` that could both be leveraged inside of `DatabaseClusterEngine`.

### Use Case

I would like to be able to use `DatabaseCluster` to be able to with the MySql or PostgreSQL engines (non aurora) to stand up a[ Multi-AZ DB cluster](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/Concepts.RDS_Fea_Regions_DB-eng.Feature.MultiAZDBClusters.html)

Research direction

Read packages/aws-cdk-lib/aws-rds/lib/cluster-engine.ts, especially DatabaseClusterEngine and the existing MySqlClusterEngineBase, then inspect packages/aws-cdk-lib/aws-rds/lib/cluster.ts and DatabaseCluster. Done means DatabaseCluster can be configured with non-Aurora MySQL and PostgreSQL engines for RDS Multi-AZ DB clusters.
