chore: deprecate latestAmazonLinux2022()

[pahud]

SSM parameter is not offering any al2022 AMIs as described in #26274. This PR marks latestAmazonLinux2022() as deprecated and uses latestAmazonLinux2023() instead.

• mark latestAmazonLinux2022 as deprecated
• update the aws-ec2 README to use latestAmazonLinux2023 instead

Closes #26274

@pahud can we find out if these images are still published and hardcode the latest values so people are not completely broken when using latestAmazonLinux2022()?

I can confirm latestAmazonLinux2022() does not resolve any Ami from the generated parameter path and the user will receive this error when cdk deploy:

 test-ec2-stack failed: Error [ValidationError]: Unable to fetch parameters [/aws/service/ami-amazon-linux-latest/al2022-ami-kernel-5.15-x86_64] from parameter store for this account.

This means:

1. Users previously successfully deploy with latestAmazonLinux2022() will not be able to redeploy because cloudformation will not find the original parameter path and as far as I can see from the doc there's no amazon linux 2022 latest AMI provided anymore.
2. They will have to choose other MachineImage and update their stack either using the original static AmiId or latestAmazonLinux2023(), which triggers instance replacement.

I am not sure if we should completely remove the latestAmazonLinux2022() method but this PR just adds the deprecated tag on it.

@pahud I meant can we find out what the actual AMI image ID is and put that in?

Unfortunately I can't find anywhere about the latest AMI ID of Amazon Linux 2022

The latest release note is 20230118 https://docs.aws.amazon.com/linux/al2022/release-notes/relnotes-20230118.html and nothing else after then.
