[lambda] specify multiple folders as a single lambda asset

Hello, Great framework, keep up the good work.

Right now in order to define a lambda function you need to set where the code resides, e.g. code: lambda.Code.asset('lambda'). Sometimes you would like to define multiple folders, for example the actual code and node_modules, although packing can be done as a preprocess step before actually running cdk deploy, it would be cleaner to do it as part of the lambda configuration.

I have a mono-repo and so I can’t just include the root of the project. I use tsc to compile code from src/ -> dist/, from ts to js. My node_modules exists at the root of the project and I don’t want to include all dependencies even.

Something like this would be great:

    const example = new Function(this, 'Example'), {
      runtime: Runtime.NodeJS810,
      handler: 'index.handler',
      code: Code.files([
        'dist/funcs/example/*',
        'node_modules/*'
        '!node_modules/aws-sdk'
    });

Similar to the way gulp would let you include src files.

Right now I’m looking at adding a package.json into my func folder and running npm i --production but its a bit of a pain, I don’t have any mechanism for copying non-code files currently.
