Description

### Describe the feature

https://github.com/aws/aws-codebuild-docker-images/releases/tag/26.03.25

I think the new images are these:

- standard 8.0 ([link](https://github.com/aws/aws-codebuild-docker-images/tree/master/ubuntu/standard/8.0))
- amazonlinux-x86_64-standard:6.0 ([link](https://github.com/aws/aws-codebuild-docker-images/tree/master/al/x86_64/standard/6.0))
- amazonlinux-aarch64-standard:4.0 ([link](https://github.com/aws/aws-codebuild-docker-images/tree/master/al/aarch64/standard/4.0))

Docs for image names: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codebuild/latest/userguide/ec2-compute-images.html (note, as of writing this comment, the `amazonlinux-aarch64-standard:4.0` is missing, I think it was merged a few days after the others).

### Use Case

Use the new images in CodeBuild.

### Proposed Solution

The appropriate sub-classes of [IBuildImage](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_codebuild.IBuildImage.html) require new methods/definitions for the new images.

Research direction

Start with the IBuildImage interface and the linked AWS CodeBuild image documentation, then compare the three referenced image definitions with the existing CDK CodeBuild image options. Done means the appropriate subclasses expose the standard 8.0, amazonlinux-x86_64-standard:6.0, and amazonlinux-aarch64-standard:4.0 images for use in CodeBuild.
