Description
### Describe the bug
When updating DatabaseCluster with defaultDatabaseName value `${envName}-db` caused error "DatabaseName must begin with a letter and contain only alphanumeric characters".
We where forced change code into " defaultDatabaseName: `${envName}_db`," and doing some data recovery hurdles.
I think CDK has been doing defaultDatabaseName value sanitatiotion and now this functionality is removed.

Research direction
Start at the aws-rds DatabaseCluster handling of defaultDatabaseName and compare behavior between CDK 2.234.1 and the newer version described. Reproduce an update using an envName-db value and verify that the generated database name remains accepted without database replacement or recovery work.
