CDK: Utilize SSM parameters for cross stack references #34332

Description

@austinrdarrah

Describe the feature

Requesting to change the automated use of CFN exports/imports for cross stack references to utilize SSM parameters and parameter references. This makes updates to the referenced values more dynamic and eliminates the issue of outputs not being able to be updated/deleted due to being in use as it is natively supported to reference SSM parameters in CloudFormation https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/dynamic-references-ssm.html#dynamic-references-ssm-pattern.

Use Case

When deploying a CDK app with cross stack references, the initial deployment with exports/imports functions well, but when updating that value, CloudFormation produces an error as exports that are in use are not able to be updated.
