Add Support for Metric Filters on CloudWatch LogGroups

[pscheri]

Feature scope

All Log Groups

Describe your suggested feature

We need a way of creating Metric Filters on CloudWatch Logs, to allow us to filter based on text patterns and create alarms automatically.

Today with monitor_logs, it's possible to filter based on text patterns on a log group and add that to a dashboard, but the only available alarms are for LogGroup metrics (ingestion count for example).

It'd be great to have application log analysis capabilities as a native feature.
