Description

### Describe the feature

Hello,

I would like to be able to set the maximum retention for the CloudWatch log group that is created with [FireLensLogDriver](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_ecs.FireLensLogDriver.html).

The interface [FireLensLogDriverProps](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_ecs.FireLensLogDriverProps.html) does not have the option to set the logRetention.

Similar to how it is currently done in [AwsLogDriver](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_ecs.AwsLogDriver.html) using [logRetention](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_ecs.AwsLogDriverProps.html#logretention) from AwsLogDriverProps

Thanks

Research direction

Start with the FireLensLogDriver and FireLensLogDriverProps interfaces, then compare them with AwsLogDriver and AwsLogDriverProps, especially logRetention. Trace how FireLensLogDriver creates its CloudWatch log group and verify that the completed change allows its retention period to be configured and applied.
