Description
### Describe the feature
Last time I checked CDK did not support `CfnPlatformApplication` and using something like a custom resource was suggested as an alternative. Is it possible to introduce a new construct so I can remove the custom resource? It should have API parity with [CreatePlatformApplication](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sns/latest/api/API_CreatePlatformApplication.html).
### Use Case
More infrastructure code can be defined in CDK removing the need for a custom resource and introducing failure points with custom resource lifecycle management.
### Proposed Solution

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by inspecting the aws-cdk-lib SNS constructs and the CloudFormation CfnPlatformApplication resource, then compare the requested surface with the AWS CreatePlatformApplication API documentation. Done means a supported CDK construct provides API parity, replaces the custom-resource use case, and includes the repository's corresponding tests.
