Description
### Name of the resource
AWS::Logs::LogGroup
### Resource name
_No response_
### Description
Protection of log groups from deletion has been introduced recently:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/logs/protecting-log-groups-from-deletion.html
Unfortunately, AWS::Logs::LogGroup does not provide such an attribute:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/TemplateReference/aws-resource-logs-loggroup.html
I know that enabling such protection is possible using AWS CLI but it is less convenient that expressing it in CloudFormation.
Similar protections, such as EC2 termination protection, are already supported by AWS::EC2::Instance:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/TemplateReference/aws-resource-ec2-instance.html
### Other Details

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the AWS::Logs::LogGroup CloudFormation reference and the linked CloudWatch log group deletion-protection documentation. Compare the requested capability with the existing EC2 termination protection support. Done means CloudFormation exposes an equivalent protection attribute for AWS::Logs::LogGroup.
