Description
### Describe the feature
It would be nice if we could introduce a new flag in the CDK CLI to take advantage of the new [DeletionMode parameter](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2024/05/aws-cloudformation-dev-test-cycle-new-parameter-deletestack-api/) with `FORCE_DELETE_STACK` value to make sure that the CloudFormation stack gets destroyed at all costs, bypassing any possible error that may be encountered.
### Use Case
Make the experience of force destroying a stack less annoying.
### Proposed Solution

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing the CDK CLI stack-destroy command and the CloudFormation DeleteStack API mentioned in the issue. Identify the existing destroy options and their tests, then add a flag that passes DeletionMode=FORCE_DELETE_STACK; done means the CLI accepts the flag and force-destroys the stack as requested.
