(iot): TopicRule action for Location

[sthuber90]

Describe the feature

The CDK has no support to trigger Amazon Location via AWS IoT Rule.

Use Case

Adding the action that sends location data to Amazon Location service directly through the AWS IoT topic rule.

Proposed Solution

Implementing action class.

Probably, following PRs help coding.

• feat(iot): add Action to put objects in S3 Buckets #17307
• feat(iot): add Action to put records to a Firehose stream #17466
• feat(iot): add Action to capture CloudWatch metrics #17503

Other Information

Following documentation will be help.

• https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-properties-iot-topicrule-locationaction.html

It will be good first issue for learning implement feature in CDK!

Due to the bug #22732 it'll likely be required to override CloudFormation resources in the action class to handle the Timestamp field propely
