Description
### Describe the feature
Expose Aurora MySQL 3.13.0, compatible with MySQL 8.0.45, as a built-in `AuroraMysqlEngineVersion` constant. The engine version became generally available on August 28, 2026.
### Use Case
CDK users should be able to select Aurora MySQL 3.13.0 through the same discoverable, strongly typed API used for earlier Aurora MySQL 3.x releases, with the correct `aurora-mysql8.0` parameter group family.
### Proposed Solution
Add `AuroraMysqlEngineVersion.VER_3_13_0` using `AuroraMysqlEngineVersion.builtIn_8_0('3.13.0')` and include it in the parameter group family test matrix.
Implementation is available in #38736.
### Other Information

- The current latest built-in Aurora MySQL 3.x constant is `VER_3_12_0`.
