Description
### Describe the feature
Make Code.from_asset first argument optional.
### Use Case
The reason for this is when create a lambda dependency layer you have no reason to copy in files. To avoid copying in files I had to create an empty directory.
```python
code=Code.from_asset('empty',
bundling=BundlingOptions(
image=Runtime.PYTHON_3_11.bundling_image,
# Must follow this file structure
# https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/python-layers.html
command=["bash", "-c", "pip install pygeohash==1.2.0 -t /asset-output/python/"]
```
### Proposed Solution
Either create a more specific Code.from_bundle or make the path argument optional.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start at the Code.from_asset entry point and trace how its first argument is validated when BundlingOptions is supplied. Compare the requested optional-path behavior with the existing API and tests; done means a dependency layer can be bundled from the shown command without creating an empty directory, while preserving current asset behavior.
