Description

### Describe the feature

IAM inline policy includes spillover for inline IAM policies that exceed maximum length. Spillover creates overflow policies of type customer managed. Result is main inline policy is tagged, but overflow customer managed policy is not. Add tag propagation support for spillover policy.

### Use Case

Resource created without tag propagation affect downstream pipeline validation rules being used in cloudformation guard

### Proposed Solution

_No response_

### Acknowledgements

- [ ] I may be able to implement this feature request

### CDK version used

### Environment details (OS name and version, etc.)
All

Sample CDK code snippet which generates overflow
` iam_role = aws_iam.Role(
self,
'IamRole',
role_name = 'Quality_Assurance',
max_session_duration = Duration.hours(12),
assumed_by = aws_iam.FederatedPrincipal(
f'arn:aws:iam::{self.account}:saml-provider/AzureAD',
{ 'StringEquals': { 'SAML:aud': 'https://signin.aws.amazon.com/saml' } },
'sts:AssumeRoleWithSAML'
)
)

Then we have a bunch of statements like the following to add permissions.
iam_role.add_to_policy(aws_iam.PolicyStatement(
actions = [
'dynamodb:*Item',
'dynamodb:Query',
'dynamodb:Scan'
],
resources = [
f'arn:aws:dynamodb:{self.region}:{self.account}:table/made-up-name-1',
f'arn:aws:dynamodb:{self.region}:{self.account}:table/made-up-name-2',
f'arn:aws:dynamodb:{self.region}:{self.account}:table/made-up-name-3,
f'arn:aws:dynamodb:{self.region}:{self.account}:table/made-up-name-4'
]
))

Research direction

No file or test entry point is named in the issue. Start by locating IAM inline-policy spillover handling and existing tag propagation tests, then verify that overflow customer-managed policies receive the same tags as the main inline policy.
