aws-ecs-pattern: containerPort should be PortMapping[] instead of just number

[jolo-dev]

Describe the feature

When using for example ApplicationLoadBalancedFargateService you can pass in taskImageOptions.
However, the containerPort is from type number but should be a PortMapping[] instead.
I ran into the issue that I needed that because my container exposed multiple Ports thus I had to create a taskDefinition due to that.

Use Case

Container, which exposes multiple ports. This is possible through taskDefinition but would bloat the codebase.

Proposed Solution

Instead of containerPort: number, it should be containerPorts: PortMapping[].

Other Information

Thanks @jolo-dev for the inputs and pull request.

Wouldn't this occur in a breaking change as we will have a parameter type changed?

Could we instead add another property as @jolo-dev mentioned, containerPorts: PortMapping[], and evaluating which will be passed to Cfn on building time? (both fields provided = error)

Another alternative would be marking the current containerPort as Deprecated and create the new field as mentioned.

WDYT?

Hey @paulosergio-jnr,
Yeah you're right. It would be a breaking change. I think making it Deprecated and creating a new field would be the cleaner approach.
