chore: document reason and mitigation for cross region reference failure from response objects being too large

[colifran]

Issue

#23958, #25114

Reason for this change

Using the crossRegionReference flag on StackProps can produce deployment errors associated with response objects being too large. The root cause of this is a CloudFormation limitation that restricts the total size of a custom resource provider response body to 4096 bytes. Using crossRegionReference will create a custom resource in both the producing stack and the consuming stack. The custom resource provider in the producing stack will respond back to CloudFormation with a response object that includes all exported parameter names and values. Similarly, the consuming stack will respond back to CloudFormation with a response object that includes all imported parameter names and values. The parameter names are created with the following naming format: /cdk/exports/${consumingStackName}/${export-name}. Users need to be careful about stack names and the use of nested stacks to limit the overall length of parameter names which will limit the size of the response body. This PR adds documentation to give more context about this issue and ways to help mitigate it.
