aws-autoscaling: Use launch templates instead of deprecated launch configurations #23165

@kichik

Description

@kichik

Describe the feature

We just got an email from AWS saying launch configurations are deprecated. New accounts won't allow creating launch configurations after December 31st, 2023. No new features or instance types will be available after December 31st, 2022.

Unless given a launch template, AutoScalingGroup always creates a deprecated launch configuration.

Use Case

Deploying existing CDK apps that use AutoScalingGroup without manually specifying a manually created launch template would fail soon. Using new instance types will be impossible without first manually creating a launch template.

Proposed Solution

It would be great if AutoScalingGroup could start creating launch templates instead of launch configurations.
